Developer id Software, a staple game studio over at Bethesda has been fairly quiet for nearly two years. The last fragment of the team’s work came in the form of Doom Eternal’s The Ancient Gods two-part expansion. From our review: “The lore, locations and fights were blistering and fast paced, and both parts together creates a compelling and tightly paced follow-up to a great game. For any Doom fans, this expansion is a must play.
However, the team is also busy with assisting in the upcoming Redfall. While not the leading studio, it is supporting Arkane Studios on the coming May release. Moreover, there is a chance it is already busy on a new Doom title. One job listing asks for extended knowledge of potential hires on the established universe for the doom shooter. So take that as you will.
Howbeit, the universe is not on halt. Developer Alpha Dog Games was previously reported to be working on a new mobile game, Mighty Doom. Recently, Bethesda officially addressed the game to be preparing its launch for March with pre-registering going live on Google Play Store & App Store. You can watch the trailer in the video below:
“Mighty DOOM stars the Mini Slayer – a charming plastic collectible brought to life by a surge of Argent energy. Unfortunately, collectibles of Hell’s nastiest demons spoiled the party and ran off with the Mini Slayer’s pet rabbit!” the game’s overview reads. “Don’t let the Mini Slayer’s small proportions fool you: he’ll stop at nothing to save Daisy from the clutches of evil. Take control of your very own customizable Mini Slayer and tear your way through hordes of miniature demons in an adorable, yet intense, top-down shooter.
“Featuring a one-touch control scheme, you never have to compromise mobility for offence. Run and gun through hordes of Hell’s nastiest demons, from one-eyed floating Cacodemons to the brutish Cyber Mancubus. Dodge attacks, dispatch foes with over-the-top Glory Kills and square off with deadly bosses such as the DOOM Hunter in fast-paced arena combat that’s easy to learn and fun to master.
“As you venture further through Mighty DOOM’s levels, the forces of Hell awaiting will grow more ferocious…which just means you’ll need even bigger, friendlier guns. Upgrade your gear, unlock legendary weapons and even choose powerful abilities in battle to hone your Mini Slayer into a fine-tuned, demon-slaying machine.”
