A
trademark
filed
in
January
has
surfaced
that
strongly
hints
toward
a
new
Doom
game.

The
trademark,
which
was
filed
in
the
US
by
Bethesda
parent
company
Zenimax,
is
simply
for
something
called
IDKFA.
While
that
might
sound
like
nonsense,
it’s
actually
a
classic
Doom
cheat
code
that
grants
all
keys,
all
weapons
and
full
ammo.

This
little
tidbit
ties
in
nicely
with
the
recent
tease
from
Tom
Warren
of
The
Verge.
In
an
article
about
the
ongoing
chaos
behind
the
scenes
at
Microsoft,
he
said
““Microsoft will
be
banking
on
some
new
game
announcements
lifting
the Doom around Xbox.”

Microsoft
and
Xbox
will
be
hosting
their
summer
showcase
in
June,
so
understandably
the
speculation
is
that
id
Software
will
reveal
a
new
Doom
game
there
to
follow
up
on
their
hugely
successful
Doom
Eternal.

However,
without
spoiling
anything,
the
ending
of
the
Ancient
Gods
DLC
did
seem
to
wrap
up
the
Doomguy’s
story.
Perhaps
a
new
Doom
game
might
go
in
a
slightly
different
direction.
id
Software’s
Hugo
Martin,
who
directed
Doom
Eternal,

did
talk
about
an
idea
for
a
Doomgirl.
He
brought
up
the
idea
on
a
Twitch
stream
while
playing
Doom
Eternal,
saying
that
he
had
actually
put
a
lot
of
thought
into
it,
adding
that
he
wouldn’t
want
her
to
just
be
a
reskin
of
the
current
Doom
Slayer.

Martin
also
discussed
the
idea
of
her
being
more
of
a
medieval
slayer.

There
are
plenty
of
directions
a
new
Doom
game
could
go,
and
so
far
id
Software
have
put
out
two
absolute
bangers,
so
they
have
my
utmost
confidence.

Microsoft
and
Xbox
could
certainly
do
with
the
good
publicity
right
now.
Speaking
of
which,

why
not
go
read
my
article
on
whether
Microsoft’s
recent
actions
could
be
bad
news
for
Senua’s
Saga:
Hellblade
