John Romero's FPS has ultimately been saved
, by Thibaut
When Microsoft carried out its major wave of layoffs last July, it also withdrew funding from various projects. This was particularly the case for an FPS developed by John Romero, the creator of DOOM.
At the time, there was even talk of Romero Games closing down completely, before this was ultimately denied. This week, Romero confirmed that the project has been saved from cancellation, but that it has also undergone significant changes.
"There's a really good 110 people working on the game. It has been completely redesigned, but we are reusing many elements. We can take pieces out of and put into a brand new indie game. We have a lot of stuff we can put in the game. The design is completely different, but the team is very excited about the new design."
It will be a "much smaller" game, but still "more fun" to create thanks to total creative freedom. Romero promises to design a shooter with a unique experience, "just as the Elden Ring experience was truly revolutionary."
