Interesting. Looks like id Software will be developing a new “John Carmack” engine along side a new title that doesn’t follow any of their previous franchises (Doom, Quake, Wolfenstein, etc.).

“We are working on an all-new franchise: it’s not Doom, it’s not Quake, it’s not Wolfenstein, it’s not Enemy Territory, it’s not even Commander Keen!

“It is a new id brand with an all-new John Carmack engine and I think that when we show it to people, once again they’ll see, just like they saw when we first showed Doom 3, that John Carmack still has a lot of magic left.”

“Our first task at id is as a single studio developer,” Hollenshead continued. “That’s really where everything spawns from. Because John Carmack is a programming genius, who in my opinion is unequalled in video games today, he makes a great technology that we can use across a wide range of applications and different games within our suite of franchises.
