Bethesda seemingly surprise-dropped Doom and Doom II in a definitive re-release package that combines both games and comes as a free update to players who own 1993 Doom or Doom II.
The latest update also brings with it a long list of amazing new features, such as a brand new single-player episode and online, cross-platform deathmatch multiplayer. In the new package, named Doom + Doom II, players will get access to both games.
Doom + Doom II Definitive Package
They will have extra single-player content such as John Romero's Sigil episode that was originally released in 2019. They also feature Legacy of Rust, which is a new Doom episode that was created by "individuals from id Software, Nightdive Studios, and MachineGames."
Pliers will also be able to download various single-player mods through a new in-game mod browser that was added with the latest update. Bethesda added 25 news maps for deathmatch for the multiplayer part, according to The Verge.
This means that players will have up to 43 maps to choose from now on and the cross-platform deathmatch and co-op can support up to 16 players at a time.
The definitive package can support up to 4K resolution and 120 FPS for players on PC, PlayStation, or Xbox Series X/S.
The new release also brings updated music for the two Doom games made by Andrew Hulshult, who previously worked on the music for Doom Eternal The Ancient Gods DLC.
Players can also switch back and forth between the newer tracks and classics whenever they want.
A Ton of New Content
The Doom + Doom II package is now available on PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Story for those who want to get it.
During QuakeCon, Bethesda also announced the new Doom Anthology, which is a physical edition bundle of Doom, Doom II, and Doom III, the 2016 Doom reboot, and Doom Eternal Deluxe Edition, said PCGamer.
Id Software's QuakeCon was held in Texas and is a four-day event where people from across the world hang out, play games, and see what the studio has to offer regarding the Quake and Doom franchises.
Despite the release of the Doom + Doom II definitive package, the older ports of the two games will not be going away. People on consoles will still get access to the older versions and can still download and play them whenever they want following the latest update.
However, they will be treated as separate games within the players' console library so that they can differentiate which one is which, according to Kotaku.
