GamesIndustry snagged Id Software's Todd Hollenshead for a moment recently and discovered that a new id property, complete with a new John Carmack engine, is currently in development:

It is a new id brand with an all-new John Carmack engine and I think that when we show it to people, once again they'll see, just like they saw when we first showed* Doom 3*, that John Carmack still has a lot of magic left.

Though he wouldn't say much about what it is, Hollenshead was clear about what it isn't, saying "it's not Doom, it's not Quake, it's not Wolfenstein, it's not Enemy Territory, it's not even Commander Keen." What? No next-gen Commander Keen? Booooooo!

Of course, Kohler told us all about this a while ago, and apparently is better at getting details than GamesIndustry is. Not that I'm biased, or anything. *cough*
