DOOM and DOOM 2 Get Modern Enhanced Editions

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of pixel-pushing, button-mashing experience under my belt, I must say that this latest announcement from DOOM has me absolutely thrilled! The thought of revisiting the iconic DOOM and DOOM II games, now enhanced for modern devices, is nothing short of a dream come true.


The classic games DOOM and DOOM II are receiving a major upgrade for contemporary systems, as developers generously offer this update at no cost to the game’s owners. With this release, both games will be accessible together due to their combination into a single package. The latest version also includes several exciting features such as multiplayer deathmatches online, support for modifying the single-player mode, an updated soundtrack, 4K resolution compatibility, and even a fresh episode exclusive to the new edition.

In a joint venture involving members from id Software, Nightdive Studios, and MachineGames, DOOM’s development team is referring to this as their “most ambitious project so far.” This fresh take on the game includes updated menus, new achievements, and adjustable settings, offering a uniquely revamped experience.
