Chris J Capel Published: Doom Eternal Veteran studio id Software is hiring for its next game following Doom Eternal, and it’s entirely possible it could be a new Quake.Other games released by Raven include the Soldier of Fortune and its sequel, Star Trek: Voyager – Elite Force, Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, Singularity and others. Developed by the award-winning id Software, Quake® is the ground-breaking, original dark fantasy first-person shooter that inspires today’s retro-style FPS games. Raven Software also created Shadowcaster using a post- Wolfenstein 3D, but pre- Doom engine created by John Carmack, the sequel for Hexen ( Hexen II) using the Quake engine, and the sequel for Heretic ( Heretic II) using the Quake II engine. ![]() Raven Software developed two Doom engine games, and two Doom 3 engine games: The same year, six of Raven's developers left to create Human Head Studios: Chris Rhinehart, Paul MacArthur, Shane Gurno, Ben Gokey, James Sumwalt, and Ted Halsted. In 1997, Raven Software joined forces with Activision in a publishing deal to combine Activision's publishing and distribution resources with Raven Software's development team. Since id's acquisition by ZeniMax Media, the Heretic and Hexen brands appear to remain with Activision and Raven, rather than id, although this appears to only apply to new products created within those brands (or new ports of the original products) id still has distribution rights over the original releases of 3 of the 4 games in those series (sans Heretic II, which id did not co-publish originally), and in fact publishes them on Steam. Following ZeniMax Media's acquisition of id Software, further partnerships are less likely to happen. During his tenure at id, John Romero was the primary link between the two companies. The remastered version of Quake runs effortlessly on. Raven has a history of working with id Software, the latest such project being Quake 4, which was released on Octofor PC, and November 22 for Xbox 360. The news should come as little surprise to fans of the series because Bethesda released an enhanced version of Quake back in August 2021 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Amidst 2021's QuakeCon festivities, Bethesda and id Software released a remaster of the original Quake seemingly out of nowhere, featuring not only the game's original campaign and a number of technical updates, but its original two expansion episodes and two more created by MachineGames. The company formed with five men, one computer, a basement and a vision of creating a role-playing game for the Amiga computer platform. The company was founded in 1990 by brothers Brian and Steve Raffel. Raven Software is a computer game software developer based in Madison, Wisconsin. ![]()
