A number of new DOOM releated releases have landed in the past few days, thanks to QuakeCon, which is taking place this weekend.
First up, DOOM + DOOM 2 is a new collection with enhanced versions of the first two games. They’ve been ported to the KEX Engine (previously done to DOOM 64) and along with upgraded visuals (for 4K) and support for modern controllers, cross-platform death matches are supported. A new level for DOOM 2, Legacy of Rust, is also included. So far, we’re aware of this collection on PC/Steam and Xbox Series X|S.
Incidentally, Kotaku have found that this new collection supports mods on the console version. As DOOM is one of the most modded games ever, that is going to extend the playability considerably.
Finally, there’s a big DOOM Anthology collection that can be preordered on the Bethesda store. This includes DOOM, DOOM II, DOOM 64, DOOM 3, DOOM (2016), and DOOM Eternal Deluxe Edition along with a steel book and a 5-inch replica BFG with LED lights and stand. This collection is for PlayStation 4/5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC/Steam.
