This departure from id Software was set into motion because of Carmack’s position as the CTO of Oculus VR. This new position was actually announced in August, but during that time, Carmack was juggling both jobs between Oculus VR and id Software, making it very difficult for him to focus on projects. This announcement comes after Carmack finished developing the id Tech 5, which was the latest technology for id Software’s gaming platforms.
This latest news might frighten certain fans of the Quake and Doom series, considering Carmack was a lead developer in the company. Doom 4 has been in development since 2008, and was planned to be released for the next gen consoles. However, it doesn’t seem to be released any time soon.
What do you guys think of this? When will Doom 4 come out? Let us know in the comments below!
