Overview
- Id Software officially said on Thursday that it is working on a new game directed by Hugo Martin and that more information will not be shared for some time.
- Asha Sharma, Xbox’s CEO, posted the studio is “already working on its next game,” a confirmation id echoed in its own statement from its Texas and Frankfurt teams.
- Slaughter Mode, a free endless horde update for the Revelations DLC, will launch on Monday, November 16, and requires ownership of Revelations to access.
- Slaughter Mode offers randomized escalating waves, 19 arenas, checkpointed 'Secure your Skulls or Risk It' mechanics for banking or gambling collected Skulls, weekly challenges, and unlockable rewards such as skins and music.
- The confirmation comes after large Xbox layoffs in July that reduced id’s staff and prompted questions about development capacity, a situation that observers say could lengthen the new project’s timeline and shape collaboration with other Xbox studios.
