It looks like the Xbox Games Showcase may have some exciting news in store for fans of Doom Eternal. According to various insiders, there is a strong possibility that a follow-up to the popular game will be announced at the event next month. This news comes amidst some uncertainty surrounding the event, with the recent closure of multiple studios under Microsoft's ownership. However, we do have some insight into which games will likely make an appearance.
Among the titles expected to be showcased are Gears of War 6, Avowed, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, and Indiana Jones and The Great Circle. There is also speculation that the next Call of Duty game will make an appearance, although it is rumored to be revealed before the showcase. And now, there is evidence suggesting that the highly anticipated sequel to Doom Eternal may also be revealed at the event. A trademark for the game, titled 'IDKFA', was filed by Bethesda in the US earlier this year. This is the same cheat code used in the original Doom games, making fans even more excited about the possibility of a new game.
Of course, a trademark filing doesn't always guarantee the release of a new game. However, this isn't the first time we have heard rumors about a follow-up to Doom Eternal. Last year, leaked Microsoft documents referenced a game titled Doom Year Zero, which has yet to be officially announced. And just earlier this month, The Verge editor Tom Warren hinted that a Doom game will be announced at the Xbox Showcase. He tweeted, "Microsoft will be banking on some new game announcements lifting the DOOM around Xbox."
Adding to the buzz, insider Jeff Grubb also stated that he expects the next game from developer id Software to be revealed at the event. While he's not 100% sure whether it will be a new Doom or Quake game, he leans towards Doom and believes it will be a big announcement for Xbox. He also cleared up recent rumors about Perfect Dark being in a "very rough state" and states that the game may indeed be revealed at the showcase.
It has been over four years since the release of Doom Eternal, which was followed by a two-part DLC called The Ancient Gods. This timeline seems fitting for a sequel, as the gap between 2016's Doom and Doom Eternal was also four years. And it seems like id Software may also have an update for Doom Eternal in the works, as a recent backend update on Steam hinted at official mod support coming soon.
