One of the co-creators of the extremely popular Doom, John Romero, is working with his studio, Romero Games, on a new first-person shooter. It’s set to use the new Unreal Engine 5 by Epic Games. It will also be with a “major publisher.”
“It’s a new dawn for Romero Games. We’re working with a major publisher to develop John Romero’s next shooter: an all-new FPS with an original, new IP. Our team is expanding, and we’re looking for talented people for all positions and at all experience levels, particularly those with Unreal Engine 5 experience” tweeted John Romero.
The studio is currently looking for employees in mostly coding, art, and design. It appears that the new title may have a multiplayer and online component, as one of the job postings refers to a senior multiplayer programmer position.
Romero Games did not provide any additional details on the game, its release date, platforms, or features.
As of right now, John Romero is working on Sigil 2, which will run on Doom 2’s engine. The last official release at Romero Games was Empire of Sin back in 2020.
