History

Historical Context

After id Software announced a Doom remake in 2008, the 2016 launch on PC, Xbox One and PS4 used the id Tech 6 engine and continued the studio’s pattern of aiming for multi-million sales, as it had projected 4 million copies for Doom 3. Ubisoft Singapore’s 2026 Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced follows this high-budget remake model, extending franchise longevity.
