id's Next, On RTCW2
by Maarten Goldstein, Jul 19, 2004 7:03am PDTIn another G4/Tech TV piece Todd Hollenshead talked about what's next for id, which is an all-new property. He also mentioned Return to Castle Wolfenstein 2 is in development, though didn't say what company is developing it. EuroGamer is speculating the developer might be Splash Damage, contributor to DOOM3's multiplayer maps (and they did Wolfenstein: Enemy Terroritory). In a job posting from a while ago the UK based studio mentions "In a continuation of our successful collaboration with id Software and Activision we have started production of a new full game based on the cutting-edge Doom 3 engine".

Is that still in the works? Using what engine?

besides which, id has 4 projects in the works now, not counting doom3, 3 of those in development at other studios. If I had to guess, i'd say you'll see about one every year/year and a half, which should give id enough time to crank out a new engine and game at the end of that cycle.
late 2005 - quake4
late 2006 - RTCW
late 2007 - nerve's still untitled coop multiplayer game (if that still exists, they haven't said a word about it since it was announced at quakecon 2001)
late 2008 - id's next 1st party game.
or rearrange the dates on some of those as necessary.
