QuakeCon 2012 dates announced

Will Doom 4 get its first public airing?

This year's QuakeCon - the annual id Software clambake - takes place in Dallas, Texas 2nd to 5th August, Bethesda has announced.

Getting out there might not be too cheap, but if you do make it entry to the event itself is free of charge. See the official QuakeCon site for more details of how to get in.

As usual, the event will take over the Hilton Anatole Hotel and host North America's largest LAN party, though specific details on exactly what else will be on show have not yet been announced.

With Rage finally out the door, id Software boss John Carmack recently confirmed that the studio can now concentrate solely on the long-awaited Doom 4. Will we be getting our first glimpse of the game during this year's QuakeCon?
