Many developers and publishers work very hard to keep their work under wraps from the general public until the moment they are ready to begin a proper marketing campaign. Other times, a third party will let the cat out of the bag and potentially ruin the surprise. It would appear we have a case of the latter today as a new title from id Software and ZeniMax appeared on a listing published by the Australian Classification Board. Listed as Project 2021B, the as of yet unknown game received a Mature rating and will be published by ZeniMax Europe.
This type of leak from the Australian Classification Board is not exactly new, even for id Software. Earlier this year, a listing under the name Project 2021A appeared on the website. This classification information was ultimately determined to be for the PSVR version of Doom 3. It is unknown if Project 2021B is also a part of the Doom franchise, but the initial evidence points in a different direction.

An Id Software project codenamed Project 2021B has been rated by the Australian Classification Board, and naturally, fans of the studio have all sorts of theories about what it could be.
You can check out the listing here, but there isn t a whole lot to parse through there. Project 2021B is rated M for violence and online interactivity, which is pretty much just modern-day Id Software in a nutshell. It s listed as a multiplatform computer game, and it s being published by Zenimax Europe.
Curiously, its code name is very similar to Project 2021A, another Id Software game rated by the same board back in January which ended up being Doom 3 on PSVR. On the surface, that seems to suggest the new Project 2021B is something else Doom-related, but in actuality, Id Software could just use a similar template for codenaming its various projects.
