Xbox CEO Announces A New Id Software Doom Game Is In The Works

Ever since Doom: The Dark Ages was released, ID Software has been under intense pressure from Xbox regarding its lengthy development time and high financial expectations. Despite some pretty harsh treatment towards the creatives behind the new Doom games, however, it seems Xbox is placing some large bets on the studio by officially announcing both a new game and a free update for The Dark Ages.

Shared by none other than Xbox CEO Asha Sharma herself on X, the post started by saying that the new 'Slaughter Mode,' similar to Doom Eternal's Horde game mode, would be arriving early next week, followed by the confirmation that the studio is already "working on its next game."

While we've known about the existence of a new Doom game since July, this is the first official confirmation that Id Software is in fact still heading the franchise with an exciting new entry despite the brutal layoffs the studio experienced over the summer as a result of Microsoft's downsizing.

Coming far sooner in comparison, the free Slaughter Mode update for Doom: The Dark Ages, releasing on November 16, will offer a roguelike-style game mode where each run is randomized for additional replayability and challenges, as shown in the official trailer shared by Bethesda Softworks on YouTube.

With a total of 19 arenas to play through from both The Dark Ages and its Revelation expansion, you'll be able to exchange points from completing challenges and weekly rewards for cosmetics like skins, backgrounds, soundtracks, and more.
