An industry report claims a new Doom game is already in development, easing fears stemming from the recent layoffs at id Software. According to The Verge's Tom Warren, while the id layoffs have been deep, the changes haven't turned id into a support studio, and the team is instead in the early stages of a new Doom game. The layoffs cut 136 jobs at id Software as part of Microsoft's broader Xbox restructuring, with employees describing the cuts as brutal. There were real concerns id Software had been gutted to the point of no longer developing its own games, but the studio pushed back, saying it now sits at roughly the same headcount as when it made Doom in 2016. id Software is pointing fans toward QuakeCon 2026, running August 6 through 9, as a likely moment for something more official. For now this remains an early-stage report rather than a confirmed announcement, but it's a reassuring sign that more Imps, Cacodemons, and Hell Knights are still on the way. #gaming #bethesda #newgam...
