From the looks of it, legendary development studio id Software is working on a new version of its proprietary game engine - id Tech 8.
The Texas-based studio is responsible for some of the most popular shooter franchises in the gaming industry, including the Wolfenstein, Doom, and Quake series and a new version of the studio’s game engine appears to be on its way. At least, according to a resume from an engine programmer at the studio. On Linkedin, the programmer, who has been working at id Software since 2019, briefly mentioned “id Tech 8” in the about section. This reference has been edited and now only reads “id Tech”. Luckily, gaming industry job spotter ‘Timur222’ screenshotted the reference, although this tweet has also since been deleted.
It’s a shame we have only gotten 1 game on id Tech 7 (Doom Eternal). I know it’s a highly specialized engine, but I’d love to see more FPS titles using it or this new version (Wolfenstein 3 please)
Dunno how interested I’d be in Wolfenstein 3 without Mick Gordon.
I need to fight mecha-Hilter, I don’t care if it’s in complete silence ha.
Can’t imagine it would be much of a fight based on what we saw in TNC
