Will be expanding staff to handle the project


id Software
is hiring for the Doom 4 team; that is the message that the developer communicated today with the news that work would start on the fourth installment in the series.

Although the future of a possible Quake 5 remains a mystery at this point, the saga will continue in the Doom universe for a fourth time on both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, in addition to the PC and Mac. id Software in recent months has been shifting more of its development resources over to preparing titles for release on console systems, rather than just the PC, as the company has been famous for in the past.

As is normal, id Software did not indicate any potential release date or timetable for the completion of Doom 4. Analysts view the expansion of the id Software as necessary if the company wants to stop farming out conversions of its titles to other platforms as it has traditionally done in the past.
