The January issue of
Game Informer magazine contains more details about
Resurrection of Evil, the expansion pack of
DOOM 3 (thanks:
PlanetDoom). In Resurrection of Evil, the story take place two years after the events from the original game and this time you play as a different marine sent to assist Dr. Elizabeth McNeal in investigating a strange beacon on the planet. When you discover a weapon known as the "Artifact", Betruger will send three demonic hunters after you - all their abilities will be transferred into the Artifact. Co-developed by
Nerve Software and
id Software, the expansion pack will feature new locations, characters and weapons (including, oh, the double-barreled shotgun), multiplayer support for up to eight players and new maps. Resurrection of Evil will require the full retail version of DOOM 3 - the release date is still unknown.
