64 is a good one too since it has a more minimalistic cover and i like those kinds of cover art

I bet this is viral marketing. Small promotions intended to get Doom back in the players' collective minds, followed by months of hinting at a big project in the works, until finally at Quakecon 2024 they make a giant announcement in front of a massive crowd...
...that Todd is remaking Doom 2016 and selling it for 70 dollars.
Was Todd even involved in Doom 2016? I get Bethesda was involved, but I don't know if Todd himself was.

I hate to break it to you guys, but it’s not just Doom that’s on the Doritos bags. Every flavor had a different game. Forza was Spicy Sweet Chili, Starfield was Nacho Cheese and Madden NFL was Cool Ranch. Surprisingly no Halo or Gears of War, which are also like Microsoft’s notorious flagship games which is bizarre (probably because they suck now lol).

That makes sense I suppose, but when I was at the store, DOOM Spicy Nacho was the only Xbox flavor there was; all the other flavors were normal. That's why I figured this was just some random Xbox promotion and they were going back to Doom because Starfield was such a joke and Doom was their last franchise to have a real hit (this was before I knew it was Doom's 30th too).
I mean, considering the behavior of Marty Stratton, I wouldn't be surprised if he finds a way to shit it up, but bringing in Todd Howard seems a little unlikely with how fragile Stratton's ego seems to be. I doubt he'd want another big name overshadowing his.

Honestly where would they even go from DOOD Eternal and its autistic DLCs? They killed the big bad, yeah? Where do you even go from there?
You make Doomguy reincarnate into transgender doomloli slaying "muh bigots and transphobes".
I can believe it to happen.

Either that or its advertising that their chips are doom for your toilet

Something involving the Ancient Gods and Wraiths, I guess? Maybe something more Lovecraftian in nature?
Or they can just churn out prequels like everyone else.

Maybe they make a Quake game and it's all part of some big multiverse with Doom, the Wolfenstein reboots, and Commander Keen.
Dear God, I hope not

They tried Commander Keen, remember?
They killed that so fast it wasn't even allowed to come out of the oven.

They can always go the DOOM3/soft-reboot route and make something standalone after putting some Quake stuff out. Given enough time between Eternal and a new DOOM game people wouldn't care much about it being something "new", nobody had an issue going though a different spin of the Spiderdemon's invasion in 2016.
I mean again, I'm well aware Bethesda worked on Doom 2016, but because this was in a different studio, I don't know Todd was ever even involved in it

Apparently Romero dropped an "unofficial" episode 6 for Sigil 2 to commemorate it. I wasn't even aware until I happened to see one of decino's videos pop up in my feed this morning.
