id Software has announced Quake Zero, an experimental version of Quake III Arena which will be completely free to play from within a web browser.

The game will be supported by advertising and is the first project from a new development team at id.

It may work, it may not,” John Carmack, technical director at id, told the audience at QuakeCon. “I think there’s at least the possibility that we could see millions of people play this.

Once work on Quake Zero is complete, the new development team will move onto creating an all-new full Quake game that will be built on id’s Tech 5 engine.

We’re eventually going to grow this to the point where we’ll have a second team of 20 to 30 people,” said Carmack.
