Doom 4 Officially Announced, id Software Looking to Hire


Earlier this week, id Software officially announced that Doom 4 is in the works. Aside from that, they haven't revealed anything about the game. If it's a sequal to Doom 3. What engine it will use. What platforms it will be released on, etc.

The only thing they have mentioned is that they're expanding their team and looking to hire. You can check out their official, brief announcement below, or on their main news page (at least until is scrolls away as they don't have any perma-links that I'm aware of).
