Developer id Software, the studio known for Doom, Quake, and Rage, is hiring for a "long-running iconic action FPS."
Job openings at the studio spotted by VideoGamesChronicle include a Senior Technical Animator, a Skybox Artist, an Environment Concept Artist, and more.
The art openings say applicants "will be responsible for the visualization and implementation of AAA quality sci-fi and fantasy environmental vistas and skyboxes." Also listed is experience in "Fantasy and Sci-Fi art styles."
The mention of a "long-running iconic action FPS" likely refers to Doom or Quake. These are two first-person shooter series that have been around since the 1990's.
The developer did reboot the Doom franchise in 2016 with a sequel, Doom Eternal, releasing in 2020. The last entry in the Quake series was 2017's Quake Champions. However, Quake Remastered, a remaster of the original game, did release in August 2021.

Quake Reboot would make perfect sense. They did just release the OG Quake in Remastered form to build hype for the franchise.
I cannot see it being anything else that suits that description. Exciting times for Quake fans
I think so too. What's it likely to take, 3 years minimum to make a big new Quake game? So that 2017 Quake would be 7+ years old by then? Yep, it makes perfect sense. Maybe expect remasters for other Quake games in the interim.

Best of Luck to them, but they didn't balance Doom Eternal mainly Todd Howards Fault (Its a Joke i got froma youtuber)
It's most definitely Quake, as it should be... Id's most iconic and impressive IP.
There is no world in which Quake is their "most iconic" IP. That's Doom by a mile.
It's all opinion. I would definitely say that Doom is their most mainstream IP, sure. Not as iconic as Quake to me though. Quake did a lot more for the gaming industry.
I feel like it has to be Quake. With the remaster being received so well by critics and players, it makes sense.
Maybe it’s 3-D Catacombs?
Plot twist: inspired by MX vs. ATV, it's actually going to be "Doom vs. Quake".
