Doom developer id Software has quietly announced its next project. The game is being developed by teams in Texas and Frankfurt, with Hugo Martin, director of the last three Doom games, at the helm.
The revelation came in response to a tweet from Asha Sharma, CEO of Xbox, who praised id Software's recent work and reinforced that the Slaughter mode is coming to Doom: The Dark Ages DLC Revelations.
@asha_shar We're incredibly excited about our next project, a new game from our teams in Texas and Frankfurt, with game direction once again by Hugo Martin. 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.

Unfortunately, the studio has already made it clear that it will still be some time before a full announcement is made. For those who like to build expectations, it's very likely that the game will be another episode in the Doom saga; the franchise is experiencing a great phase in terms of critical and public reception, which may be motivation enough to release another adventure of the Doomslayer.
For now, fans can make do with the excellent DLC for The Dark Ages, which is already available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
