‘Doom 4’ Is On The Way, Will Be “Done When It’s Done”
It looks like id Software is taking the Blizzard/Valve approach to game development with their next project. Earlier today at QuakeCon, John Carmack discussed the closure of id’s mobile games division so they could allocate more resources to AAA console titles, specifically the highly anticipated fourth installment in the popular Doom series, saying “The Bethesda family really is about swinging for the fences. I hope that we do get back to mobile in various ways in the future, but the real aim is blockbuster triple-A titles, and for id that means Doom 4,” said Carmack. After the Doom 3 BFG team is done with their work, they’ll be switched over to Doom 4, so “essentially everybody will be focused on Doom 4 as a project,” he said. In related news, the game will support the Oculus Rift 3D Headset, which has been getting quite a bit of attention by gamers lately, with its Kickstarter grabbing an incredible $1.2 million in donations in just three days.

Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
