Activision, id set summer launch for ‘Doom 3’
LOS ANGELES, May 11 (Reuters) – Video game publisher Activision Inc. (NasdaqNM:ATVI – News) and games developer id Software on Tuesday said that the highly anticipated game « Doom 3 » will be released this summer.
« Doom 3, » which was previewed during the E3 video game industry trade show two years ago, will be released for personal computers this summer. An Xbox version of the game is also expected this year.
The two companies made the announcement during the E3 show in Los Angeles.
Fans have awaited the release of the game for years, given the long and successful history of titles like « Doom » and « Quake » from id, whose top games designer John Carmack is considered a legend in his field. Carmack also designed « Doom 3. »
Last week, Activision said that for financial planning purposes it was assuming the game would be released in the quarter ending in September, though it cautioned that final control of the release was out of its hands.
In the past, when asked when the game would be out, id officials have said only « when it’s done. »
In a statement, the two companies said that « Doom 3 » would be released « this summer, » but gave no specific date.
