After taking a lengthy break for a decade, developer id Software has reinvented first-person shooter title Doom in 2016 reboot. They unleashed "Hell on Earth" in early 2020 with Doom Eternal and it has surpassed its predecessor.
Although there is no official confirmation on what id Software is working on up next, a newly posted job listing on ZeniMax Jobs page is seemingly hinting at a possible third Doom game or maybe a Quake franchise reboot is in works.
A recent job listing on official ZeniMax Jobs website is looking for personnel to join their team as Combat Designer to help develop future AAA first-person action games with experience on high-quality, first-person combat gameplay.
In terms of qualifications, applicants are required to have in-depth knowledge of id Software games like Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal, which lead many fans to believe that a new series entry is currently under active development.
Twitter user XboxWorlds has spotted a job listing at ZeniMax Jobs that hints at new Doom game in works.

Earlier last year, a rumor regarding a possible Quake reboot ahead of QuakeCon 2021 turned out to be Quake Remastered after all. id Software also holds license to iconic shooter IPs like Rage and Wolfenstein for a franchise revival.
Doom Eternal just came out two years ago, followed by two The Ancient Gods DLC packs and several updates across all platforms. So, id Software beginning to work on a sequel right now should be expected and not surprising at all.
