Doom and Quake creator Id Software is hiring for a new game on next generation consoles. According to a listing for a UI programmer, Id is seeking a candidate “to work on cutting-edge technology for an unannounced game on future-generation consoles.”
The listing adds that “experience with DirectX 11 [is] a plus.” DirectX11 support is notably absent from current-generation consoles, but rumored to be included in next-gen systems.
Finally, the listing notes that "familiarity with id Software games, characters, brands and universes" is a requirement, potentially hinting that this project could be Id's long-rumored Doom 4
In addition to creating classic shooters Doom and Quake, Id last released Rage in October of 2011. A listing for Rage downloadable content recently appeared on Europe’s PEGI ratings board, though no official announcement has been made. Id is expected to talk about its upcoming projects at Quakecon next month.
Meanwhile, a new re-mastered version of Doom 3 called the Doom 3: BFG Edition will be released later this year.
