id Software confirms it is working on a new game, following its recent work on Doom: The Dark Ages. The announcement comes through comments linked to Xbox CEO Asha Sharma and a studio response that provides additional detail.
Across coverage, outlets describe the project as being in development at id Software studios in Texas and Frankfurt, with Hugo Martin leading the effort. While the studio does not explicitly label the new title as a “Doom” game in the available reporting, multiple outlets say it is widely expected to be another entry in the franchise. Several pieces also place the confirmation in the context of id Software’s recent staff layoffs tied to an Xbox business “reset,” and note that the studio is continuing development.
IGN frames the story around the confirmation during Xbox’s 25th anniversary Fan Fest in Seattle and the timing with Doom: The Dark Ages’ Slaughter Mode update on November 16. Other outlets add that reporters previously indicated id Software was in early stages of a new Doom project. Overall, sources align on the confirmation, the leadership by Martin, and the development locations, with differences mainly in how directly they connect it to “Doom” and what background events they highlight.
