Doom 4 To Be Revealed On July 17 At Quakecon
Attendees at id Software's annual QuakeCon will get an exclusive first-look at the company's upcoming Doom game.
Parent company Bethesda Softworks just published a schedule of special events for QuakeCon 2014, and the highlight appears to be a look at Doom 4 (or whatever the game ends up being called). Bethesda has said that the reveal will be exclusive to QuakeCon and not shown at other video game events.
The Doom reveal will take place on the Ventrilo main stage at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas, Texas. It will occur on the first night of QuakeCon, Thursday, July 17 at 6 p.m. Central Standard Time.
If you're in the area, you'll have an opportunity to catch a special panel moderated by Game Informer executive editor Andrew Reiner. He'll be hosting the "Designing a Perfect Game" session with Chris Kluwe (former NFL punter, author), Rick Malambri (Step Up 3D, Twitch streamer), and Matt Grandstaff (global community lead at Bethesda). Together, this group collaborate on a design concept for a game that will be judged by Feargus Urquhart, CEO of Obsidian Entertainment (Fallout: New Vegas, South Park: The Stick of Truth).
After the panel, attendees will have their chance to critique the game design and even offer reviews. If you'd like to attend, be sure to get there early, as the first 1,500 attendees will receive a Bethesda t-shirt. The panel takes place at 5:00 p.m. Central on Saturday, July 19. Can't be there in person? Be sure to check out the Twitch stream of this (and the other panels) at twitch.tv/Bethesda.
Other special events at QuakeCon include a special "portfolio review" with id Software art director Hugo Martin, Elder Scrolls Online tournaments, an episode of Bonus Round with Geoff Keighley, and a Magic the Gathering tournament. Tournaments will be streamed at twitch.tv/QuakeCon
