Classic DOOM and DOOM 2 have received an update

While eagerly awaiting the release of DOOM: The Dark Ages, fans are revisiting the classic DOOM games, thanks to a recent update. This update significantly enhances the technical aspects of DOOM and DOOM II.

A key improvement is the addition of multiplayer mod support. Mods created using Vanilla DOOM, DeHackEd, MBF21, or BOOM are now compatible. Cooperative gameplay has also been enhanced with the ability for all players to collect items and an observer mode for players awaiting revival. Network code optimizations further improve the multiplayer experience. The mod loader now supports more than the initial 100+ subscribed mods.

Looking ahead to DOOM: The Dark Ages, accessibility is a core focus. The game will offer unprecedented customization options, exceeding those found in previous id Software titles. Executive producer Marty Stratton emphasizes the team's commitment to accessibility.

Players will have extensive control over various aspects, including enemy damage and difficulty, projectile speed and damage, and even broader gameplay elements like tempo, enemy aggression, and parry timing. Importantly, Stratton confirms that prior experience with DOOM: The Dark Ages isn't required to understand its narrative, which connects seamlessly with DOOM: Eternal.
