Despite the layoffs, id Software is still working on Doom: The Dark Ages and working on its next game

Once again, it’s Asha Sharma herself who’s bringing us the news. This time, it concerns the id Software development studio, the very same one that was hit by layoffs this summer. More than 130 people lost their jobs at that time.

First off, the next update for Doom: The Dark Ages is coming this Monday, November 16. Among other things, it adds a “Slaughter Mode” to the game. More information is expected to be released soon; there isn’t much to go on at the moment.

Next, we’ve learned that id Software is also working on its next game. There are no images to share at this time, as the project is still in its early stages of development.

"We’re incredibly excited about our next project, a new game from our teams in Texas and Frankfurt."

Finally, it’s worth noting that some of the employees laid off this summer have come together to create a new development studio called Hidden Horses. The first game has already been briefly pitched, and a Kickstarter campaign is planned.
