New Game from Doom studio and New Wolfenstein Announced
Xbox revealed a new endless combat mode for Doom: The Dark Ages and announced two upcoming games from Bethesda-owned studios Id Software and MachineGames during its 25th anniversary celebrations.
Xbox marked its 25th anniversary with free in-game items and announcements from Bethesda-owned studios Id Software and MachineGames. Xbox CEO Asha Sharma shared details on improvements to Xbox services and promoted the launch of Slaughter mode for Doom: The Dark Ages. The mode challenges players to survive increasingly difficult waves of demons, with rewards tied to performance and risk-reward decisions after each round.
The Slaughter Mode update for Doom: The Dark Ages is scheduled for release on Monday, November 16, and will be free for players who own the Revelations DLC or the premium edition or upgrade of the game. Id Software confirmed via social media that its teams in Texas and Frankfurt are developing a new game under the direction of Hugo Martin, known for leading The Dark Ages. The studio provided no further details about the project, which remains in early development.
Sharma also confirmed that Wolfenstein 3 is officially in production at MachineGames, following studio head Jerk Gustafsson’s earlier indication that the Wolfenstein reboot would be a trilogy. The announcement marks a significant step beyond prior speculation, though few specifics about the game’s setting or gameplay were disclosed. Both new titles are expected to be in early development stages.
The announcements coincide with Xbox’s anniversary celebrations, which included free content drops for multiple titles. While details on the new games remain limited, fans can immediately access the Slaughter Mode update for Doom: The Dark Ages to tide them over until further information is released.
