id Software, based in Mesquite, Texas, just sent out a press release announcing that it is now hiring developers to work on Doom 4.

Of course, id hasn't even finished the last game it announced, so I'm guessing Doom 4 is a few years away, at least.

Still, kind of cool. And any of you who happen to be world-class game developers looking for work might want to freshen up your resumes.

Full press release after the jump.
