Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has announced that id Software is officially working on a new game, believed to be another Doom title. This is happening after Sharma oversaw id Software losing half of its staff to layoffs that were part of the Xbox “reset.”
Id Software replied to Sharma’s post on Twitter to provide a few more details on the new game, which the team didn’t say was a Doom game, but everyone suspects it will be. The studio said it’s “incredibly excited” about the new game, which is in the works at id’s studios in Texas and Frankfurt. Hugo Martin, an id Software veteran, is directing the game–don’t expect to see or hear about it soon, though.
“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,” the developer said.
Reporter Tom Warren said in July that id Software was in the “early stages” of developing a new Doom game, so this news today isn’t totally surprising.
Sharma cut staff at id Software (and numerous other Xbox studios around the world) earlier this year as part of a “reset” of the Xbox business. Marty Stratton of id Software recently said the studio is “doing great,” despite the mass layoffs.
Id Software’s latest game was 2025’s Doom: The Dark Ages. The game’s newest update is coming on November 16, adding the new wave-based Slaughter mode.
