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.

Luckily, gaming industry job spotter ‘Timur222’ screenshotted the reference, although this tweet has also since been deleted.
