id Software dévoile le premier add-on pour DOOM 3 : Resurrection of Evil. Dans la grande tradition des add-ons pour les jeux d'id Software (Quake 3 excepté, récemment), c'est une boîte « amie » qui s'occupe du développement de cet add-on, en l'occurrence Nerve Software (des anciens d'id partis fonder leur propre boîte et qui ont notamment développé le mode multi de Return to Castle Wolfenstein). Et toujours dans la grande tradition d'id Software, il n'y a pour l'instant pas de date de sortie.

Basiquement, Resurrection of Evil, c'est :

• La suite de l'histoire de DOOM 3
• De nouveaux coins à visiter
• Le shotgun à double canon
• De nouvelles armes
• Le shotgun à double canon
• De nouveaux persos
• Le shotgun à double canon
• La possibilité de jouer à 8 en multi

id Software Amplifies the Terror With Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil(TM)

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Oct. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- id Software(TM) and Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) will unleash an all-new assault on humanity with DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil(TM), the official expansion pack to the fastest selling PC first- person action game ever in the U.S., according to NPD Techworld. Co-developed by Nerve Software and id Software, DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil continues the terrifying and intense action of the already classic DOOM 3, which Maxim and Computer Gaming World awarded "five out of five stars" and the Associated Press called "one of the scariest games ever made." Through the discovery of a timeless and evil artifact you now hold the powers of Hell in your hands, and the demons have come to hunt you down and take it back. Following the events of DOOM 3 and featuring new locations, characters and weapons, including the return of the double-barreled shotgun, DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil expands the terrifying action that fans and critics have been raving about. The title will require the full retail version of DOOM 3, and has not yet been rated by the ESRB.

"DOOM 3 defines first-person cinematic action, and the expansion pack continues right where we left off -- with a terrifying atmosphere, a new story and one of the most classic weapons ever, the double-barreled shotgun," states Todd Hollenshead, CEO, id Software. "Now that fans have survived the horrors and edge of your seat action of the original, DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil delivers players deeper into the heart of the UAC to uncover new secrets and technology used to destroy the demon force that's Hell-bent on destroying you."

Building on the most advanced game engine ever created, DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil continues the frightening and gripping single player experience of the blockbuster original. The title also features even more multiplayer action with support for up to eight players in all new maps.
