DOOM Duo Gets Revamp for Modern Era

by Christian Feb 20,2025

While eagerly awaiting the release of DOOM: The Dark Ages, many are revisiting the classic DOOM games. Exciting news has arrived for DOOM and DOOM 2! A recent update significantly enhances the technical aspects and more.

Key improvements include enhanced multiplayer mod support (compatible with Vanilla DOOM, DeHackEd, MBF21, and BOOM). Cooperative gameplay now features shared item pickups and an observer mode for players awaiting revival. Multiplayer network code has also received optimization. The mod loader's capacity has been boosted, handling over 100 subscribed mods.

Looking ahead to The Dark Ages, accessibility is a major focus. The game will offer unprecedented customization options, exceeding previous id Software titles. Executive producer Marty Stratton emphasizes the commitment to accessibility.

Players will have extensive control over enemy damage, difficulty, projectile speed, damage intake, and other elements like game pace, enemy aggression, and parry timing. Stratton confirms that prior DOOM experience isn't necessary to understand the narratives in The Dark Ages and DOOM: Eternal.
