id Software confirms new game in development, Hugo Martin returning as director

The legendary studio id Software is officially working on its next project. IGN reports the announcement was made at Xbox's 25th anniversary Fan Fest event in Seattle.

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma shared the news on social media, confirming the studio is wrapping up support for last year's Doom: The Dark Ages with the Slaughter Mode update coming November 16. She also stated, "the team is already working on its next game."

In its own post, id Software said the new title is in development at its studios in Texas and Frankfurt. The studio confirmed Hugo Martin, the creative director behind the modern Doom games, will once again serve as game director.

The studio offered no details on what the project might be, saying it will be "some time before we're ready to share more." IGN speculates it could be a new Doom, a return to Quake, or an entirely new IP.

Doom: The Dark Ages players can look forward to the free Slaughter Mode update on November 16, described as an endless single-player mode for those who own the Revelations DLC.
