'Doom' creator Id soon to start on new game on Reuters (thanks Gaming Horizon and Tiscali Games) has scant details on id's next project after DOOM 3, which will unsurprisingly begin development soon after DOOM 3's completion. The more newsworthy bit is the revelation that the game will not be another sequel or remake:

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Video game developer id Software, famed creators of games like "Doom" and "Quake", will likely start work on its new project almost immediately after completing four years of work on "Doom 3", its chief executive says.

In an interview with Reuters on the sidelines of the video game industry trade show E3 here, Todd Hollenshead said that the game in question was new intellectual property, and was not a "Doom", "Quake" or "Wolfenstein" game.

He offered few details on the style or content of the game, other than to say the id team would start serious work on it in short order, possibly a matter of days, after moving on from the PC and later Xbox releases of the new "Doom2".

Re: DOOM3 in 2003???

Dagok is right, they were planning on releasing DOOM 3 in 2003. The poster at E3 said 2003 on it because that's when they were gonna release it. That is more than obvious. The Quake III Arena poster had 1999 on it, and they released it in 1999. That's why when DOOM 3 got pushed back to 2004 there was a big press release on it. And Tim Willits said in an interview at the begining of 2003 that if they didn't get it out that year Jon C would fire everyone (he was joking of course). It is an obvious slip, whether they always said "when it's done" or not. From the day DOOM 3 was announced they said 2003. C'mon guys. "When it's done" is a release date that allows them to slip a few months without us noticing. The only reason they said "not until 2004" when they did was because everyone and their mother knew that DOOM 3 was gonna ship in 2003. Duh.
