Doom 4 Is Coming

According to a news blast on id Software's boards today, your Doom is nigh once again:

"Production has begun on DOOM 4?, the next journey into the legendary DOOM universe. We are expanding our internal team and are currently hiring to work on this highly anticipated title."

For those unfamiliar with the franchise (what rock have you been hiding under?), the series was among the first breakout hits to introduce the concept of a First Person Shooter game. Since then, it's been blamed for everything from corrupting youth to global warming. All right, I exaggerate a bit. (Just a little bit). Heck, we still use Doom 3 in some of our WorldBench graphics tests.

What is the deal with Doom 4, though? Good question. No word on if it'll use the same graphics engine getting tuned for the upcoming post-apocolyptic shooter, RAGE. And who knows if it'll even see light of day in this decade?

The only thing we can tell you right now is that if you don't mind the Texas heat, you can apply for a job at the Mesquite, Texas offices.

We're waiting to hear back from spokespeople, so stay tuned for any new details that pop up.
