Release cycle: Like MachineGames or classic id/Bethesda?

Recommended Posts

Has id talked about their current release cycle?

For example, MachineGames released Wolfenstein TNO in 2014, TOB in 2015 and is currently working an New Colossus, another Wolfenstein game.

In the last years id Software switched between franchises (Doom 3, Rage, Doom 4), same as Bethesda (FO3, Skyrim, FO4).

I read an interview with Marty Stratton or some other guy at id that hopefully next game won't take 7 years like Rage or Doom 2016 did, but not very fond of the idea of releasing a new game every 2 years. I believe he said 2.5-3 years cycle is ideal.

I would love to see the following cadence:

Year 1: New Game
Year 2: New Episode/Expansion
Year 3: New Episode/Expansion
Year 4: New Game

ABD -- Always Be Dooming.
