It looks like the DOOM franchise may not be slowing down anytime soon. A new report claims id Software has already started developing another entry in the long-running first-person shooter series, even as the studio continues to recover from Microsoft’s recent restructuring.
According to the report, the project is still in its early stages, meaning fans shouldn’t expect an announcement or gameplay reveal anytime soon. While very little is known about the title, its existence suggests that id Software is already planning the next chapter for one of Xbox’s biggest franchises.
The report comes shortly after Microsoft’s latest round of layoffs affected several Xbox-owned studios, including id Software. Despite those changes, development on a new DOOM game reportedly remains active, indicating that the series continues to be a major priority for both the studio and Xbox.
No details have been shared regarding the game’s story, setting, or gameplay mechanics. Likewise, there’s currently no information on a potential release window or which platforms the project is targeting.
As with any unannounced game, the report should be treated as speculation until Bethesda or id Software makes an official announcement. However, if the information proves accurate, DOOM fans can look forward to another installment from the studio behind one of gaming’s most influential shooter franchises.
Has a new DOOM game been announced?
No. Bethesda and id Software have not officially revealed a new DOOM title.
