With id Software gutted by major layoffs, what studios can help carry forward the legendary studio’s games? In this video, I cover the studios still operating today that have collaborated with id, used its game engines, or created games for their franchises to rate which ones could be worthy to carry on Id's torch.
From longtime collaborators like Raven Software and MachineGames to less obvious candidates like Tango Gameworks, I break down each studio’s history with id and whether it seems worthy.
Which studios would you trust with the future of DOOM, Quake, Wolfenstein, or Rage? Let me know in the comments!

You can really tell they hold a lot of love for Wolfenstein and you can sense the respect for the IP when playing the games. Such fleshed out worldbuilding, well written and lovable characters, and of course, fun and diverse combat.
And not only do they adhere to what Wolfenstein was after id acquired it, but the stealth elements from the original non-FPS Wolfenstein were also added.
I guess we'll just have to see how things play out, and I do hope id can bounce back from this, somehow.
