Doom meets Dredd in Defect, a squad-based shooter with a Mick Gordon soundtrack

Today the trailer dropped for a new game called Defect from a new studio called emptyvessel, comprised of veterans from many of the heavy-hitting titles in AAA game development.

The game is set in a city governed by a sinister AI and rocked by violence as different factions trying to secure power. One notable team member is Mick Gordon, previously responsible for a ripping and tearing soundtrack in the rebooted Doom games, who is the composer for the project. And since he and leadership at id Software had a very public falling out after Doom Eternal, fans will be happy to have him attached to a new franchise.
