[Update: While the store page still isn’t live, if you already ownDoomon Steam, it will now updated toDoom + Doom II.]
Amysterious store pagehas popped up forDoom + Doom II, a compilation of the classic FPS titles. While modern ports of these games aren’t exactly a new thing, the kicker here is that this version will be coming from Nightdive Studios.
While there hasn’t been any official announcement about this, an unlisted store page has been spotted on Steam that outlines what will be included. Assumedly, the announcement is planned for Quakecon 2024, so try and act surprised when it happens. In the meantime, I have received confirmation from Nightdive Studios and have been told “Watch our Deep Dive!” That’s the studio’sshowcase on YouTube.
According to the store page, not only will these two legendary titles be ported to Nightdive’s proprietary KEX Engine, but so will most of the classicDoomseries, along with some new content. Here’s what is included.
On top of this is all the modern conveniences brought about by the KEX Engine. Up to 120FPS and 4K resolution. There’s mod support, a remastered soundtrack, and other things that I, personally, find less interesting. You can check it all out on the aforementioned store page.
Doomis one of my all-time favorites. I probably play through the entire game multiple times per year. I’m less hot on what came after it, but since it’s all based on the same foundation, I love it all the same. I’m very excited to see the new episode, since the additional content inDoom 64,Quake, andQuake 2was all phenomenal.
According to the trailer on the store page,Doom + Doom IIwill be available directly after the announcement.
