John Romero's Canceled Shooter Is Back On Again, Sort Of

"We're not starting at ground zero,"

"We can take pieces out of and put into a brand-new indie game. We have a lot of stuff we can put in the game. The design is completely different, but the team is very excited about the new design."

"it incorporates a lot of the elements"

"the things that you do in it, will be new to people, the way that going through Elden Ring was a really new experience ... That's the idea behind what we are doing in this game."

A first-person shooter previously reported as canceled has been revived with a fresh redesign and reduced scope. The project will reuse and reconfigure parts from the earlier build rather than starting completely anew, allowing existing assets and ideas to be incorporated into a smaller indie-sized title. The redesign aims to deliver gameplay experiences described as unlike typical games, promising new ways of interacting and progression. The studio itself remains operational despite earlier layoffs tied to wider Microsoft restructuring that led to several studio closures and canceled projects.
