  "account": "id Software, the renowned developer behind the Doom series, has announced that they are working on a new game. This news was revealed at Xbox's 25th anniversary celebration event, Fan Fest, held in Seattle. Following the release of Doom: The Dark Ages, which included the Slaughter Mode update on November 16, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma announced on her X account, \"Few studios have shaped the first-person shooter genre as much as id Software.\" The Slaughter Mode update is available as a free add-on for those who have purchased Doom: The Dark Ages - Revelations DLC. The studio is currently in the process of developing its next game, with game direction once again under the supervision of Hugo Martin. The identity of the next project remains undisclosed, though it could be another installment of Doom, Quake, or something entirely new. Bethesda's executive Jill Braun has hinted that the company is shifting its focus towards its strongest franchises and determining a content roadmap to serve its players better. Considering id Software's track record, which includes the successful reboot of the Doom franchise and the critically acclaimed Doom Eternal, and their latest effort, Doom: The Dark Ages, it might be safe to say that Martin and his team are capable of delivering an exceptional new game.",
