After dealing with the latest layoffs and restructuring, the studio is now focusing on the next entry in the iconic first-person shooter series.

id Software’s recent situation
The recent layoffs and restructuring might have affected the studio a lot, but it still has the core talent that is needed to build the game and technology.

The game could be a continuation of the previous ones, or take on a different prequel or even a whole new chapter in the franchise. This appears to be only the beginning, and there is still plenty of time to make changes before the project is officially announced.
