Yep, though I wonder how guilty Microsoft (MS) is this time. Granted, MS let Redfall be ruined, but maybe MS was nore concerned with Quake, didn't find it promi$ing then might have mandated id Software to rework it into another Doom game. Though I think Bethesda is the likely culprit antway.
Kind of WB Games did with Netherrealm Studios, mandating it to make Mortal Kombat 1 instead of Injustice 3 (where Omni-Man, Peacemaker and Homelander would all fit WAY better) or a new IP.

Maybe next Single Player Quake is made by Machine Games?

They use id-tech as well and there was a "vague Quake 6 teaser" in their showcase last year ( Quake Champions is Quake 5 btw) :
"...ake 6" + Quake 1 Rune

They are also definitely dedicated Quake Fans.

They made the new expansions for the Quake 1+2 Remasters that connected the Q1+2 Universe official.
- Dimensions of the Past (Q1)
- Dimensions of the Machine (Q1)
- Call of the Machine (Q2)

Quake III already merged all universes anyway.

Machines Games is also growing in size quite a bit, recently opening a secondary studio.
So maybe Wolfenstein III and Quake 6 next from them after Indiana Jones.

One DOOM Game every four years doesn't really sound like "We are building a universe" like they said during the DOOM Eternal announcement.

Anyway, hyped for new DOOM!

I could dig a brand new Quake using the latest tech by Machine Games, would be a nice addition. As for the new DOOM, I'm very hyped as well, been since Eternal that I don't get excited as now for a game. The reveal apparently will happen at June 9th at Xbox Games Showcase. Maybe it will be released this year (that would be amazing), but probably will come at early 2025.

Ive been waiting for this moment

But the resident DOOM experts on the Steam forums said that DOOM Eternal was such a failure that the it's a software company would not be able to ever make a DOOM game ever again... are you trying to tell me that they were wrong? There's no way❕

[Nobody]

Heretic*

[^7R4^2Z^70R]

Hexen*

[6 cuartos de puerta]

Excited about the new Doom release, I hope they remove meathook from the super shotgun because if the maps are really open that will make everything easier. What would you take from Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal for the next Doom game?

[Serpico]

does MS even own Heretic/Hexen?

tbh, if its Dark Ages "Year Zero" I expect it to be more grounded
or they go full fantasy flying barbarian style ^^

I was really hoping for a new Quake game. I feel like the current iteration of Doom is explored enough and TAG2 ending with Doomguy lying in a coffin, ready to be awakened in another setting when needed was perfect.

If it’s a prequel during Doomguy’s time with the Sentinels… I’ll probably still enjoy it if the combat loop is similar to Eternal and not 2016.

it'll probably be sentinel era. with melee focus and crossbows as the only 'guns'. probably gonna be that slow and brutal stuff Hugo talked about.

What have we done to deserve this?

Edit: that said, the Sentinels when Doomguy discovers them are not a medieval people. Their civilization has medieval aesthetics, but their “crossbows” are highly advanced energy weapons, their “castles” are occasionally orbital stations and their “kingdom” spans across multiple planets connected by a network of FTL portals.
