Id Software is moving forward. On Thursday, as part of several Xbox-related announcements, it was confirmed that the studio’s next game is in development.
Details on what that game is are currently unknown.
What the project is won’t be known for a while
In their statement about the next project on social, id Software confirmed that while its in the works, they won’t have much to say anytime soon.
“We’re incredibly excited about our next project, a new game from our teams in Texas and Frankfurt, with game direction once again by Hugo Martin,” they said on social media. It’ll be some time before we’re ready to share more, but we can’t wait for you to see what we’re working on.”
Martin has been a game director at id Software since 2018. Prior to that, he worked as a creative director for four years, with his first game at the studio being 2016’s DOOM. Overall, he’s been in the industry for over 20 years, with credits dating back to 2005.
In addition to the new game, it’s been announced that Slaughter Mode is coming to DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations on Monday, November 16.
A pleasant sight for fans.
Id Software working on its next game is surely to be well-received news by fans. When the studio was hit hard by Microsoft’s layoffs over the summer, there was concern about where things would go from there.
At least 136 people were let go, with staff referring to it as a “bloodbath”. It was even suggested that morale at the studio had “never been lower”.
