id Software had mobile games in development but are now on hold

Interesting news today regarding id Software and the fact that they had a few mobile games under development. Unfortunately though, it looks like these projects are now on hold due to id Software wanting to focus solely on Doom 4’s development instead.

The team working on the mobile games have been brought on to work on Doom 4’s development which effectively puts all their mobile projects on hold. The teams had some developers that id Software wanted to bring on to work on Doom 4.

We did make the decision to close up our mobile development, which saddens me a lot, in that I love doing the mobile work — taking that time, spending a month, a year or something working on a mobile project, but we had some developers on there that we wanted to bring onto the Doom 4 project. – John Carmack, id Software

id Software have already released six games onto iOS and were flopping back and forth as to whether or not they should bring their games to Android. While putting their mobile projects on hold may sadden iOS gamers, all of us on the Android side of the fence have yet to enjoy any of them so it isn’t any skin off our backs. Let’s just hope that at least one of those mobile projects that are now on hold happen to be for Android.
