During Activisions's financial quarterly conference call (you can listen to the event right here), company execs updated their 2003 release calendar and the long anticipated id Software first person shooter Doom III was not among the games planned for release this year.

During the conference call, the execs stated that for planning purposes they have Doom III pencilled in for the fourth quarter 2004 fiscal year (Jan-March 2004) but added that id Software, not Activision, dictates when the game will finally be released.
