In a recent financial report, Activision stated that the much-awaited Xbox version of Doom 3 as well as the PC expansion pack Resurrection of Evil will be released worldwide during the first week of April.

"Brace yourself for a new breed of fear and excitement," said Todd Hollenshead, CEO, id Software. "DOOM 3 for the Xbox brings gripping action, unparalleled graphics and sound, and a truly terrifying experience to the home theater. This is DOOM 3 built for the Xbox, including 480p and wide-screen support, full Xbox Live multiplayer, and the Xbox exclusive 2-player co-op campaign. For fans of DOOM 3 on the PC, Resurrection of Evil takes you to the undiscovered depths of the UAC's Mars base and back to Hell itself for a vicious new battle with the forces of evil and the most ferocious demons imaginable."

Although Doom 3 for Xbox is essentially the same version that hit PC in the summer of 2004, it features co-operative online play through Xbox Live.
