Bethesda owner ZeniMax is reportedly shifting its focus to its largest franchises, which may include Doom, Wolfenstein, and Quake in addition to Fallout and Elder Scrolls. However, the impact of this shift on specific studios, such as id Software, is unclear, with reports of significant layoffs and conflicting assessments of the studio's status. The restructuring appears to be part of broader cuts at Xbox, which have also affected the Bethesda studio and prompted criticism from a union representing its employees.
