Pete Hines, Bethesda Softworks VP, told PC Gamer last weekend that 'Doom' 4 will launch next year and that no other previews of the game will be shown anytime soon.

Since Bethesda has decided to withhold a lot of the game's details, the only way fans could get a better look is if a video leaked from development.

"'Next year is normally when I think we would've started,' said Hines, which means that 'Doom' will likely see a public reveal in 2015.

During the Quakecom reveal, they showed a video teaser that brought the shooter back to its roots. the teaser revealed that 'Doom 4' will be more of an action-based narrative game than 'Doom 3'. The video featured melee combat that allows the player to beat down enemies with his own feet and fists, which is helpful if the player runs out of ammo.

There was also a part of the reveal that showed a demon ripping the arms of the player and beating him with the severed limbs. The crowd provided a standing ovation on this part.

The only reason they showed this preview was to point out that 'Doom 4' is actually going to happen..

"I really wanted to put something out there that, in a strong way, said, 'id is working on something that we think is really cool,'" said Hines, "And we wanted ... to show something to [id Software fans] that gives them the confidence that it is still a viable studio that's doing really cool stuff, that is making a game you want to play, and is treating Doom with the care and respect that you want.

"And now we're going to go away and go back to making the game, but to be able to counter other people talking about us and we're sort of just sitting here staying silent, or operating from this negative space of like, 'Oh, it got rebooted, oh it's in trouble.' All of that stuff just bothered the hell out of me,"he added.
