John Romero's upcoming FPS project has been canceled as Microsoft layoffs impact Romero Games and several other unannounced projects at different studios.
Romero Games' game was built in Unreal 5, but funding was canceled as a strategic decision from the publisher.
Former employees, including Christoph Redl and Leslie Stowe, revealed on social media that they were let go due to Microsoft's cuts, with some claiming the entire team has been affected.
John Romero, known for his work on iconic games like DOOM and Quake, has yet to make an official statement regarding the situation.
