New Game from Doom studio and New Wolfenstein Announced

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has unveiled upcoming Bethesda games coming from the studios that made Doom and Wolfenstein.

New Game from Doom studio and New Wolfenstein Announced

Xbox is commemorating its 25th anniversary this month by showering fans with gifts, including freebies from games such as Minecraft, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, and Gears E-Day. Bethesda-owned studios, Id Software and MachineGames, also made exciting announcements. Xbox CEO Asha Sharma discussed upcoming improvements on X, revealing Slaughter mode for Doom: The Dark Ages.

In this endless combat mode, players face off against increasingly powerful waves of randomly selected demons, battling for higher scores and collectable Skulls to exchange for unique rewards. Players can choose to continue or surrender after each wave. The Slaughter Mode update is set to launch on Nov. 16 and is free for those who own the Revelations DLC or have the premium edition or upgrade for Doom: The Dark Ages.

Id Software's developer responded to Sharma's post, confirming that their Texas and Frankfurt teams are working on an unannounced new game, directed by Hugo Martin, who previously directed Doom: The Dark Ages. MachineGames also announced that Wolfenstein 3 is in production, although limited details are available as the project is still in its early stages.

These announcements were brief but generated positive reactions from fans eagerly anticipating new games from these studios.
