The team that created Doom RPG, Orcs & Elves, Orcs & Elves II for mobile platforms today announced that they have created a new mobile division simply titled id Mobile. This new division will develop games for mobile devices, the Nintendo DS, and PSP. This new dev house will be headed by Fountainhead Entertainment Founder and former Director of Business Development at id Software, Katherine Anna Kang, who will serve as president of id Mobile.
“Worldwide, mobile gaming has the potential to eclipse conventional gaming platforms,” said John Carmack, technical director and co-founder, id Software. “The resource constraints of mobile platforms reward technical and design virtuosity, making it a place where we can leverage the historic strengths of our company.”
“id Software is known for doing things that don’t conform to the status-quo and as a result, they’ve lead the gaming industry forward through their original ideas, technical prowess and the uncanny ability to see into the future; with id Mobile, that tradition continues,” said Katherine Anna Kang, president, id Mobile. “id Mobile is poised to shake up the emerging mobile gaming space.”
id Mobile is currently developing Wolfenstein for the mobile platform, and the follow up to Doom RPG.
