Earlier this year id Software was purchased by Zenimax, for those that don’t know, that’s also the parent of Bethesda and the possibility of Beth Soft and id Soft working on something together makes me giddy.
They have recently released Doom and Doom II RPG for the iPhone, both of which are great fun to play. Could we see a resurrection of the Doom franchise? Perhaps another Quake title? Maybe an MMO for Doom.
Whatever it might be it’s certain to be cool. Even if Bethesda and id Software just talk with each other it could be huge.
It sure seems like something big is brewing, here’s the full list of available positions:

- Key Frame Animator
Art
- 3D Modeler
- Character Artist

Certainly a list big enough to put together a large chunk of a team to work on a new FPS for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.
