Id Software has announced that it has started development on a new game at its Frankfurt and Texas studios. Hugo Martin will once again directing the game after helming the modern DOOM trilogy.
In an announcement post, id states the following: “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. 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.” While DOOM: The Dark Ages and its Revelations DLC ended on a cliffhanger, it is possible that id will return to the long-dormant Quake franchise.
In the meantime, its most recent game DOOM: The Dark Ages is available now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Final Weapon reviewed its Revelation DLC, in which we described it as “another incredible addition to the series from id Software. The narrative is great, focusing more on the Slayer while being filled with both callbacks to the past and hints towards the future. Further, the new gameplay additions make combat absolutely thrilling, in part thanks to the sizeable post-game and incredible soundtrack. While the level and enemy designs are sometimes lackluster, Revelations further cements The Dark Ages as arguably the best entry in the modern Doom trilogy.”
Recently, Bethesda and id Software have announced that it will add the “Slaughter Mode” to DOOM: The Dark Ages – Revelations on November 16. Those who own the DLC, Premium Edition, and Premium Edition upgrade will get the mode for free. The mode will feature waves of randomized enemies that will put players’ mastery of the game’s mechanics to the test.
