Id Software May Soon Bring Doom And Quake Out Of Storage
It’s been about six years since id software touched the Doom franchise, and even longer since the studio released a numbered entry in the Quake series (2010’s Quake Arena Arcade for Xbox Live doesn’t count). Maybe it’s time that changed.
Jason Kim, senior producer at id Software, recently told Shack News, “We have Quake; we have Wolfenstein. If people want that, we have the IPs to deliver it. And we have a different approach now; we're forging a new path. I think we can freshen those things up,”
That sounds promising to us. Rage comes out later this year, so it’s possible that id is prepping to announce a new game within the next few months. Of course, Kim also claims that, “We don't have anything in the works right now but I think when we start talking about different things we can do with the other properties that we have I hope people are receptive to what we want to do and what we think would be fun for players to experience coming out of id Software.”
Which series would you like to see the developer tackle next?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
