Classic DOOM and DOOM 2 have received an update

Feb 28,25

While eagerly awaiting the release of DOOM: The Dark Ages, many are revisiting the classic DOOM games. Good news! A recent update for the DOOM + DOOM 2 compilation has significantly enhanced the experience.

This update boasts improved technical stability and more. Crucially, it now supports multiplayer modifications created using Vanilla DOOM, DeHackEd, MBF21, or BOOM. Cooperative gameplay is enhanced with shared item pickup and an observer mode for players awaiting revival. Multiplayer network code has also received optimization. The mod loader's capacity has been increased, allowing players to utilize more than the initial 100+ subscribed mods.

Looking ahead to DOOM: The Dark Ages, accessibility is a key focus. The game will offer unprecedented customization options, surpassing previous id Software titles. Executive producer Marty Stratton highlights the commitment to accessibility, allowing players to adjust various aspects.

Players will be able to fine-tune enemy damage and difficulty, projectile speed and damage, and even broader gameplay elements like tempo, aggression levels, and parry timing. Furthermore, Stratton confirmed that prior DOOM experience isn't required to understand the narrative of DOOM: The Dark Ages or its connection to DOOM: Eternal.
