Xbox's Doom and Wolfenstein Developers Working 'More Closely Than Ever' After Xbox 'Reset' Layoffs

id Software co-director Marty Stratton said the studio is working with MachineGames "more closely than ever," a technology collaboration that began earlier this year before the layoffs. He confirmed about half of id's staff exited as part of Xbox CEO Asha Sharma's ongoing "reset," but said the team remains viable across game development and technology. MachineGames has used id's idTech engine for every one of its games, fueling speculation about a co-developed Wolfenstein 3.
