id Software and Activision have announced forthcoming console versions of Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars. While we at Splash Damage lavish our attentions solely on the PC version, we've got a little help from our friends: the Xbox 360 version is being handled by the mighty Nerve Software, creators of Return to Castle Wolfenstein multiplayer, while the Playstation3 version is being hoisted aloft by the lovely Z-Axis. Read the full press release here.

Apologies for the extended downtime caused by the sheer weight of tapirs in the forums. We've built new stables for our Perissodactyl Ceratomorph chums and the forums have been back for a couple of weeks here. Our temporary home at myspace will remain active; if you haven't added us, pop by.

In case you missed it, GamaSutra has an interview with Splash Damage boss Paul 'Locki' Wedgwood on, wherein he descants upon his gaming past, the creation of Splash Damage, the development of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, and the beginnings of Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars. Those who find such things of interest will find it, um, interesting.
