While the news hasn’t been officially confirmed, several recent developments suggest a new DOOM game release and an announcement could be made as early as June 9 during theXbox Games Showcase 2024.

Last year,documents accidentally sharedduring the proceedings of theActivision Blizzard acquisitionlisted a project titledDoom: Year Zero, in addition toDishonored 3andGhostwire: Tokyo, amongst others. That was the first time the Xbox community got a whiff that a new DOOM game might be on the cards!

Early this year, in January’24, we reported about atrademark filed by BethesdatitledIDFKA. For the unversed,IDFKAis a popular in-game cheat code in DOOM. So, it’s highly likely that a DOOM sequel is under wraps!

Not to mention, a recent crypticpost on X(formerly Twitter)by Tom Warren, Senior Editor atThe Verge, highlighted the possibility of Microsoft releasing another DOOM game to recover from recent failures and quell the resentment amongst the community.

Things haven’t been too good at Microsoft’s Gaming Division this year. Earlier,Microsoft fired 1900 Activision employeessoon after the expansion, and now it hasclosed down multiple studios.

Amongst all these developments, rumours of a new DOOM game being announced at theXbox Games Showcasecome as a relief to fans of the series. It’s been almost four years since the release of DOOM Eternals. That’s like an eternity for fans!

I came across multiple players in communities and forums who shared the same level of excitement during discussions about a new DOOM release on Xbox.

Not to mention, some were surprised by the move while a few wanted a sequel for Quake instead. I hope their wish comes true, because the two titles do have a massive fan base.

Right now, a DOOM sequel for Xbox is all everyone’s talking about. Wait for theXbox Game Showcaseuntil June 9, and we shall have a confirmation!
