Summary
- The DOOM and DOOM 2 collection now includes the SIGIL 2 campaign by original designer John Romero for free.
- DOOM and DOOM 2, considered influential classics in gaming, continue to receive updates.
The collection containing both the original DOOM and DOOM 2 has been updated, including a new campaign designed by the game’s original creator John Romero. Originally launched in 2023, this DOOM campaign is now available to all players worldwide.
The original DOOM game, along with its follow-up, are often recognized as some of the most influential video games ever made. They raised the benchmark for first-person shooters and sparked a trend that lasted for years. In fact, many other games attempted to mimic their success during the 1990s, earning the nickname “DOOM clones.” The franchise still releases hit titles today, and last year, fans were able to purchase a collection containing both the original game and its sequel, offering them the chance to play two gaming classics.
In the recent updates for both DOOM and DOOM 2, it’s official that SIGIL 2 is now included as a free addition to your collection. Originally launched in 2023 as a complimentary extra for DOOM, SIGIL 2 was crafted by gaming legend John Romero. Previously, the original SIGIL was already available within the DOOM and DOOM 2 collection, and with this latest update, its sequel has been added to the lineup.
Even though DOOM was initially released more than three decades back, it’s still being updated today. A notable recent update added multiplayer mod support in January, demonstrating that there’s still a lot of interest in these games. It’s fascinating to witness the enduring appeal as players return to these classics, breathing new life into them through various custom mods. Campaigns like SIGIL 2 serve as a reason for fans to replay these games, even for those who have already completed them multiple times.
Despite some gamers still relishing the original DOOM series, anticipation persists for the long-awaited mainline sequel, DOOM: The Dark Ages, which is set to release in May 2025, five years after its initial announcement and serving as a follow-up to the 2016 DOOM revival. In the meantime, gamers can look forward to the upcoming SIGIL 2 release to tide them over.
