When ZeniMax (parent company of Bethesda Softworks) acquired Id Software back in June, it was a little strange. After all, EA was still planning on publishing "RAGE," the next major release from the "DOOM" developer, and the acquisition wasn't going to change that.

The 14th annual QuakeCon is off and running, and it appears there's going to be quite a bit to keep id Soft-lovers happy over the coming days. Just got in the official list of events and announcements, and it's packed to the gills with enjoyable stuff. Most interesting, though, is the amount of Bethesda stuff. Even though the ink is still fresh on Bethesda's purchase of id, there's still going to be a heavy presence from the publisher.
