In a recent chat with id Software lead artist and co-owner Kevin Cloud, he confirms the existence of a new, secret id Software game and the possibilities for a Enemy Territory spin-off of Doom.
What is id Software working on? Are you kicking around your own ideas for a future project?
Yes. I'm working with Raven on Wolfenstein, and Splash Damage on Quake Wars. So those are all things that are going on with me.
Internally, we've got a project that's been in the works since we finished Doom 3. We have not announced it...and we will not announce it! [laughs]
Is the new game a big change from what we've seen, or still in that classic id vein?
The thing is that-uh,.....[long pause]. I can't say. [laughs]
Quake's a great series, but what about Doom? Doom Wars almost sounds more natural. Is there any possibility for that?
We worked on this game for over three years now, so we've thought about everything, and Doom is part of it. [laughs] So yes, we have talked about it. There are some very cool things you could do with the magic elements of Doom and the portal stuff. There are cool ideas there, but it hasn't gone past just talk.
