Id Software has announced today that production has begun on DOOM 4, and the developer is "expanding its internal team" to work on the next installment of the spooky shooter.

"DOOM is part of the id Software DNA and demands the greatest talent and brightest minds in the industry to bring the next instalment 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."

According to the official blurb, id is looking for "talented, ambitious and passionate individuals" to join the team working on the game. We're assuming development it isn't that far along then.

That's Rage and Doom 4 (plus Quake Zero and mobile games) in development at the tiny developer. Assuming it's using the Rage tech, we should expect it on PS3, 360 and PC simultaneously.

I just came across this by accident and thought I'd throw it in here in case anyone is interested.  I played a little of Doom 3 (dark game) and wasn't sure that there would ever be a 4 but I guess we know the answer to that now.

Not the biggest fan of the series myself but I'm sure this will please a lot of people.

Doom 3 was pretty short, so I hope they can expand the game and make it worth our money to buy Doom 4.

Hmm was the fact that Doom 4 is "on" supposed to be a secret? Somehow I already knew this was a for-sure bet...

AWESOME.

i just hope there isnt a sequel to the doom movie

i like the rock but that movie was AWFUL

Doom 3 in no way lived up to the series' name. So hopefully this one does.

I doubt it though, I will prepare for the worst.

agreed, let's hope that the time and money are put into the game, and not into another complete waste of time the movie was.
