According to a recent ESRB rating, Quake III: Team Arena has been given an "M" rating for the Xbox 360. Previously unannounced, the game is listed as published by Pi Studios, a Houston, Texas based developer whose recent work include console versions of the Call of Duty series and Mercenaries 2. The developer is also working with Microsoft on a map editor for Halo 2 Vista.
Many of Pi Studios former employees list stints at Raven Software who have a cozy relationship with id and publisher Activision. Pi lists one unannounced project on their site, but the only hint they provide is a link to Edith Head's Wikipedia entry, so maybe it's an adaptation of Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid.
So why publish Quake III: Team Arena when Quake 4 has already taken the Xbox 360 by storm? It's possible that the game could be whittled down for an Xbox Live Arcade release, but that's just fun and baseless speculation.
Thanks for the heads up, Kenny.
