Recently, foreign media outlet found a new job posting on ZeniMax's website, showing that the company needs a senior game programmer and saying that id Software is currently working on a new video game that has not yet been announced.
The senior game programmer needed to "collaborate with other people to create new gameplay content, including player and character behavior, combat, and power mechanics." "Player and character behavior" may imply that the player's actions will affect the reactions and behaviors of the characters in the game, or have some other effect. The term "combat and force mechanics" may have multiple meanings. If this project is doom's next title, it means that the protagonist Doom Slayer may have a variety of special powers and skills this time. In Doom: Eternity, the protagonist's skills are acquired through Pretor armor, and players can use a variety of skills. And if Doom Slayer still doesn't have special powers and skills this time, then the Pretor armor will most likely have a variety of new skills.
There are also upgrades in the Quake series of games, and if the next game is a new Quake, then this means that there will be a new upgrade route. However, "Rage 2" also introduces various powers and skills, so it may also be a new work in the "Rage" series.
The requirements in the job posting read" at least 5 years of experience in the game industry, or in first-person shooters." "This suggests that the game should be an FPS game." In addition, candidates with experience in idTech will be preferred if they have experience with idTech, the proprietary engine of id Software games that have been used to develop most of id Software's games, such as Doom and Quake, the latest version of which is id Software.
However, since this new work has not yet been announced, and the details of the job posting are relatively vague, we do not rule out the possibility that it is a new IP.
