Doom co-creator's canceled game could be saved as new publishers begin talks

Last week’s gut-wrenching flurry of game cancellations and layoffs due to Microsoft’s Xbox Game Studios cuts didn’t just affect the company’s owned, first-party studios. Third-party developers, like Romero Games, were impacted too. The studio formed by Doom co-creator John Romero announced that funding for its upcoming, triple-A FPS game had been pulled, and dozens of devs announced they were being let go, with some claiming the whole studio was shutting down. However, there’s a glimmer of hope for Romero Games and its new project, as the studio has just released a new statement clarifying that the studio hasn’t fully closed and that other publishers have reached out that are “interested in helping us bring the game across the finish line.”
