Activision has announced today that id and Nerve Software are working an expansion pack to the mighty Doom 3. Carrying the title “Resurrection of Evil” it does indeed promise to resurrect some evil. There’s no release date yet, but nor is there any particular rush: gamers will be wanting a little breathing space to get the standalone Doom 3 finished anyway.

As expected from an expansion pack, it will offer a raft of extra content: a new single player campaign, new multiplayer maps, new enemies and new weapons. CEO Todd Hollenshead says ROE will offer “a terrifying atmosphere, a new story and one of the most classic weapons ever, the double barrelled shotgun.”

Apart from the inclusion of the double barrelled shotgun, as popularised by farmers, posh country gents and Doom 2, no more specific information has been provided. However, Doom 3 fans are sure to welcome anything that adds further to what is already rather a good game.

Expect more details as they arise.
