id Software made it official (albeit in a strange manner) – DOOM 4 is in production! The announcement came in a posting on id’s website which resembled more like a job recruitment posting than a product announcement one. According to Todd Hollenshead, CEO of id Software:
“DOOM is part of the id Software DNA and demands the greatest talent and brightest minds in the industry to bring the next installment of our flagship franchise to Earth..It’s critical for id Software to have the best creative minds in-house to develop games that meet the standards synonymous with our titles.”
The posting then links to a fairly extensive list of job openings at id – presumably positions for DOOM 4 production. In any event, it’s awesome to hear that DOOM will indeed be back. No word of course on any potential release date. I’m sure it’ll come out “when it’s ready.”
