Doom Studio id Software is Seemingly Working on new Version of its Game Engine - id Tech 8

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.

And on the last day of ID working at Bethesda the "this is fine" meme was made
