Doom studio id Software confirms it’s working on a new game

id Software has confirmed it is developing a new game, with Hugo Martin directing and teams in Texas and Frankfurt working on it. The studio says it will be some time before it shares more, but the announcement confirms it has a new project underway amid questions about its future after Xbox layoffs.

The confirmation followed an announcement by Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, who also said Slaughter Mode is coming to Doom: The Dark Ages – Revelations on 16 November. The mode will feature escalating rounds of random encounters, bosses and arenas. Id reportedly lost more than 130 employees in July, though co-director Marty Stratton said the studio had been made viable across its work; speculation about a possible Wolfenstein 3 collaboration with MachineGames remains unconfirmed.
