A new game engine from John Carmack

Filed in archive Game News by Kevin Codamon on June 01, 2007

At a London event earlier this week, id CEO Todd Hollenshead says that a new game/engine is being developed by iD Software.

"We are working on an all-new franchise," he stated. "It's not Doom, it's not Quake, it's not Wolfenstein, it's not Enemy territorylinks, it's not even Commander Keen! It is a new id brand with an all-new John Carmack engine, and I think that when we show it to people, once again they'll see, just like they saw when we first showed Doom 3, that John Carmack still has a lot of magic left."

Since creating Doom 3, Carmack has had his hands full porting games such as Doom RPG and Orcs & Elves to mobile platforms. But in comparison to those relatively minor projects, this newly announced game would be their first major independently-developed title in nearly three years.

Hollenshead also states, however, that Carmack is still feverishly working on the engine, which he hopes will be used "across a wide range of applications and different games within [id's] suite of franchises". As it is still in its early development stages, Hollenshead was not at liberty to discuss details, but promises to make a formal announcement when the time is right.
