The DOOM and DOOM 2 collection has recently received an exciting update, now featuring the SIGIL 2 campaign, designed by the original creator, John Romero, at no extra cost. This campaign, which debuted in 2023, is now more accessible for fans of the legendary games.
Recognized as groundbreaking classics in the gaming industry, DOOM and DOOM 2 are pivotal titles that have set the standard for first-person shooters, spawning a whole subgenre of “DOOM clones” during the 1990s. Both games have remained popular, receiving continuous updates that keep them relevant for new and returning players.
Last year, they were combined into one cohesive package, allowing enthusiasts to experience both iconic titles in a single bundle. In the latest patch notes, it’s confirmed that SIGIL 2 has been integrated into the collection for free.
Its predecessor, the original SIGIL, was already included, and this latest addition adds more content for players seeking fresh experiences. Despite being released over thirty years ago, the DOOM franchise continues to evolve, with updates such as multiplayer mod support introduced earlier this year, indicating that the series still has vitality and appeal.
As excitement builds for the upcoming DOOM: The Dark Ages, the franchise’s first mainline title in five years, players have something to look forward to. Announced in mid-2024, this sequel to the revitalized 2016 DOOM is slated for a May 15, 2025 release.
Until then, the SIGIL 2 campaign serves as a perfect reason for fans to revisit these classic games. The update also contains various improvements and fixes for gameplay, enhancing the player experience while ensuring compatibility with mods.
These continuous improvements illustrate the enduring legacy of DOOM and its influence in the gaming world.
