This is happening after Sharma oversaw id Software losing half of its staff to layoffs that were part of the Xbox &#8220;reset.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Id Software replied to Sharma&#8217;s post on Twitter to provide a few more details on the new game, which the team didn&#8217;t say was a Doom game, but everyone suspects it will be. The studio said it&#8217;s &#8220;incredibly excited&#8221; about the new game, which is in the works at id&#8217;s studios in Texas and Frankfurt. Hugo Martin, an id Software veteran, is directing the game&#8211;don&#8217;t expect to see or hear about it soon, though.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;It&#8217;ll be some time before we&#8217;re ready to share more but we can&#8217;t wait for you to see what we&#8217;re working on,&#8221; the developer said.<\/p>\n<figure data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;core&quot;: { &quot;image&quot;: { &quot;initialized&quot;: true } } }\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-ref-id=\"1957761\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.core.image.showLightbox\" style=\"cursor: zoom-in\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/DoomGame_809f5f.jpg?w=636\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1957761\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A scene from Doom: The Dark Ages.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reporter Tom Warren said in July that id Software was in the &#8220;early stages&#8221; of developing a new Doom game, so this news today isn&#8217;t totally surprising.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sharma cut staff at id Software (and numerous other Xbox studios around the world) earlier this year as part of a &#8220;reset&#8221; of the Xbox business. Marty Stratton of id Software recently said the studio is &#8220;doing great,&#8221; despite the mass layoffs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Id Software&#8217;s latest game was 2025&#8217;s Doom: The Dark Ages. The game&#8217;s newest update is coming on November 16, adding the new wave-based Slaughter mode. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/new-doom-game-seemingly-announced-in-the-weirdest-way-after-half-the-studio-was-laid-off\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><br \/>\n<center><script>\n  atOptions = {\n    'key' : 'ab8cc34fbebd96e6c135978b4baca540',\n    'format' : 'iframe',\n    'height' : 90,\n    'width' : 728,\n    'params' : {}\n  };\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/www.highrevenueformat.com\/ab8cc34fbebd96e6c135978b4baca540\/invoke.js\"><\/script><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has announced that id Software is officially working on a new game, believed to be another Doom title.
