Doom creators John Romero and Adrian Carmack to make shooter Blackroom

John Romero and Adrian Carmack were two of the original creators of Wolfenstein, Doom, Quake, and the first-person shooter genre of games in the 1990s. Now they’re getting back together to make a new game called Blackroom in the first-person shooter genre that is now a multibillion-dollar market.

Their new startup, The Night Work Games, is launching a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign to raise $700,000 to make the game. And they will launch a Twitch livestream at 9 am Pacific time on Monday to talk about the game. Their announcement — foreshadowed by the Star Wars parody video below — comes at an interesting time as Bethsda Softworks begins its campaign to promote Doom, a reboot of the original game on the PC and consoles. That game comes out on May 13, and the new title from Romero and Carmack will come out in the winter of 2018.
