DOOM Is 31 Years Old And Still Gets New Content: Yeah, You Read That Right!
Let's be real: Doom is a legendary video game, like a classic action movie that's always in rotation. And believe it or not, it's getting fresh new stuff to make the experience even better – and it’s all ready for us! We are talking about new content for a video game that dropped back in the 90s! That's like discovering an awesome new song by your favorite 80s band and getting to blast it on your vintage stereo! It’s totally bonkers and it’s proof that even with all those remakes, there's something super cool about the original DOOM experience.
It’s important to remember where we’re coming from because Doom helped shape first-person shooter games! It totally made an impact, especially back in the day – alongside that other awesome game, Wolfenstein. You can really say these were foundation games. You wouldn’t get those cool modern shooters, like Halo (think about that epic universe!), without those classic shooters from way back then.
DOOM + DOOM 2: The Classic Duo is Back with a New Episode!
If you’re feeling all retro, this DOOM + DOOM 2 bundle is your dream come true. They packed everything together, even stuff that came out way before this – so think of it as like a greatest hits compilation for your favorite band. They included all the classics – like the Master Levels for DOOM 2, that awesome “The Plutonia Experiment,” “No Rest For the Living,” Sigil (get ready for Sigil 2 as well! You won't be disappointed!), and the brand new “Legacy of Rust,” a completely new episode! This "Legacy of Rust” episode was built by some really talented people from id Software, Nightdive Studios, and MachineGames! And yes, it has those epic new monsters and wicked weapons!
Now, "Legacy of Rust” has these awesome two new chapters – "The Vulcan Abyss" and "Counterfeit Eden". That’s a total of 16 maps, enough for a solid chunk of Gaming action. What's really cool is they didn’t leave out those older games! You can use those epic old-school soundtracks or get hyped up with some of the new tunes – either way, you're ready for a trip back in time. And if you’re thinking, "Hey, I’ve already got those DOOM games!” You might be right. But it's actually like a free upgrade for all the older versions – that’s a pretty sweet deal.
Doom: It's Time for More Nostalgia
With a bundle like this, DOOM fans have it pretty great. You get classic DOOM games packed with some awesome new stuff and it’s a perfect gift to give to someone you love. You’ve got that original Doom and its killer sequel.

What’s So Cool About Doom + Doom 2
Okay, here's a fun fact for all the DOOM veterans: you can get those original Doom soundtracks (remember those MIDI tunes) or switch over to the newer IDKFA versions with those brand new recordings for the game! Talk about choices! I don't know about you but I am a huge fan of that. Plus – this game works for basically everyone! You’re good to go on those Playstation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch consoles – they even added that killer cross-play so everyone’s invited for some DOOM-style destruction. What else could you possibly ask for? You even have 120 FPS, 4K resolution for the superpowered consoles!
It really feels like this game is just meant to keep bringing new fans and players to this legendary title. Those who’ve been enjoying Doom and DOOM 2 will be super stoked on all that cool, new stuff – especially “Legacy of Rust.” And with all these new releases coming out, the DOOM legacy will keep going stronger than ever with even more new features for the upcoming “DOOM: The Dark Ages”. And yes, it is looking to be another epic installment.
