John Romero has announced that he will reveal his new project tomorrow, December 10th. Unfortunately we don’t have enough information about this title, though Romero did tease his project on Instagram a few days ago.
Although it has not been confirmed, this could very well be the game that John Romero was working with Adrian Carmack, BLACKROOM.
BLACKROOM was described as a visceral, varied and violent shooter that harkens back to classic FPS play with a mixture of exploration, speed, and intense, weaponized combat. In this game, players would be able to use fast, skillful movement to dodge enemy attacks, circle-strafe their foes, and rule the air as they rocket jump in the single- and multiplayer modes.
BLACKROOM originally received a Kickstarter campaign which was cancelled later on as Romero and his team wanted to release a playable demo before reopening its crowd funding campaign.
We’ll know more about this new project from Romero tomorrow, so stay tuned for more!
John is the founder and Editor in Chief at DSOGaming. He is a PC gaming fan and highly supports the modding and indie communities. Before creating DSOGaming, John worked on numerous gaming websites. While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”

I still remember daikatana. And how I got stuck at a point where there was nothing to be done.
??
Bow down before the Godfather of the FPS.?
SAVE US, JOHN
YOU’RE OUR ONLY HOPE
FPSs NEED YOU NOW MORE THAN EVER
????????????
Doom, dusk, amid evil, ion maiden and rage 2 is ok….then we go to system shock remake, system shock 3 and atomic heart and then there is the amc tc episode 3, which if you havent played episode 1 and 2 you MUST play it.
Also ashes mod for doom is awesome too.
Don’t try to understand somebody who thinks John Romero can put out quality work when everything he did was in gaming that had any quality was two series with Quake 1+2 and Doom 1+2 more than 20 years ago.
He has proven himself to be a two trick pony time and time again. People who think he’s going to “SAVE FPS!?!” are seriously kidding themselves as to how good, and are just ignoring that he hasn’t done jack sh*t in two god damn decades.
Don’t explain something to someone who acts like him.
And I could be wrong, dear god I hope I am not, but the OP might have been sarcastic.
He left id Software after Quake 1.
looks like ben shapiro
Hahaha I was thinking the exact same thing.
That’s Ben Shapiro watching his parents clean his room after he won an argument about who should do it.
I hope it supports HDR to get rid of some of that banding…
if its not blackroom but some 2d platformer i am gonna be sooo mad.
dusk is finally coming out? PRAISE GABEN.
Me literally as I scrolled to the comments.
My brain automatically added ‘Finally’ to the title before reveal. I was surprised when I read it again and it wasn’t there.
Despite all the hate Romero gets I’m still rooting for him. He’s very talented at level design. The DOOM levels he’s released in recent times show he’s still got it.
Now that doesn’t mean the game will be great. But hopefully he’s put together a great team that can pull it off.
It better be Black Room…and it better be awesome!
I expect some outstanding creativity from this guy…considering his profile.
