DOOM 4 Production Begun

While recruiting new programmers and artists, ID Software revealed that they are currently working on DOOM 4.

"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."

DOOM 3 didn't sit too well with most fps fans, but the DOOM franchise is one of the most recognizable and important in gaming history, having been named "one of the ten most influential games of the decade" by PC Gamer.

No platforms have been announced for DOOM 4 yet, but it is expected to launch across PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
