December 10, 2025 at 9:04am PT Romero Games declined to comment on whether it had found a new publisher or received new funding. This article has been updated to reflect this.

Led by Doom co-creator John Romero, the studio has been looking for a way to save or repurpose its project and prevent its doors from completely closing. Well, it seems like it’s found a solution. Speaking on a panel at an event in Spain, Romero confirms that his new shooter has “survived” but has been “basically completely redesigned” as a smaller-scale “indie game.”
