Doom 3 BFG Edition Coming This Fall

Way back in 2008, id Software announced Doom 4. In a peculiar twist, we'll be playing 2004's Doom 3 again before we get to the next installment in the franchise. Parent company Zenimax Media announced today that a remastered deluxe edition of Doom 3 will once again unleash hell on space marines this fall.

Doom 3 BFG Edition takes its title from one of the franchise's aptly named weapons, the BFG 9000, or Big F***in' Gun. So just how f***in' big will Doom 3 BFG get? Along with enhanced graphics, 5.1 surround, tweaked controls, improved rendering and lighting, and 3D monitor support, it will feature the Resurrection of Evil add-on and seven all-new levels called The Lost Mission.

"Doom 3 was enthusiastically embraced by gamers worldwide at its release," id Software's John Carmack said in a statement. "Today, the full experience has been enhanced and extended to be better than ever, and is delivered across all the platforms with a silky smooth frame rate and highly responsive controls."

But wait, that's not all. BFG will also come packing the original Doom and Doom 2. Hopefully, by the time you get done playing through it all, there will finally be fresh information -- and dare we say an actual firm release date? -- for Doom 4.
