ID Software is Hiring for Doom 4

ID Software today announced that they are hard at work at developing the next title in their flagship franchise, Doom 4. The official Id software website states that,

"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," said Todd Hollenshead, CEO, id Software. "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."

They have also opened up for job hiring of 13 lucky individuals who will be set to work on this project which I suspect will launch at least a couple of years from now taking into account how long the previous incarnation of Doom took to develop. I may be wrong, it can even take 3 or 4 years but it remains to be seen whether or not they will be using their Tech 5 engine to develop Doom 4 or some other engine not developed yet. If that is the case, the production may take much longer than 2 years but if they use Tech 5 (most probably they will), the game should launch in a couple of years from now.
