id Software and Escalation Studios announced DOOM Resurrection for the iPhone and iPod touch. id Software and Escalation Studios emphasize that this is a new game that will hold new challenges even for experienced Doom veterans. It’s a parallel storyline to the original, essentially: A space marine must protect Earth from invasion from hellish, demonic monsters that have somehow traveled through a dimensional rift on a remote station located on planet Mars. John Carmack said the project will run on iPhones and iPod touches with OS 2.x; the company plans an update in the future that will exploit some iPhone OS 3.x features, as well.

DOOM Resurrection from id Software will be available in the AppStore next week to give iPhone gamers what they’ve been waiting for: much better 3-D graphics than most first-generation iPhone games.
