After 24 years, I’ve decided to leave id Software after QuakeCon. I’ve been extremely lucky to work with the best people in the industry on truly amazing games. QuakeCon has been an unbelievable part of my journey and I look forward to seeing everyone at the Gaylord Texan.

I have received a lot of questions concerning the status of some of our previously announced projects now that Saber has separated from Embracer. I'm happy to confirm we're still working on a number of titles, including Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, John Carpenter's Toxic

I have worked on some of the greatest action games made, and I can say Space Marine 2 is truly amazing. The action in Space Marine 2 is so over-the-top and visceral that you will truly feel what it is like to become a Space Marine. Solo campaign, PvP, and (my favorite) PvE.
