During the QuakeCon welcome stream, id Software’s Marty Stratton and Hugo Martin took to the main stage to announce the new, definitive combined re-release of DOOM + DOOM II, available now worldwide. The id Software team also announced the DOOM Eternal mods beta, bringing official mod support to the award-winning shooter.

New Re-Release of DOOM + DOOM II

The legendary action FPS titles have been enhanced and combined into a single bundle. Developed by id Software, and originally released in 1993, DOOM pioneered the first-person shooter, setting a standard for all FPS games. The critically acclaimed sequel, DOOM II, followed in 1994.

This new definitive version of these combined titles – co-developed with Nightdive Studios – is available now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Check out the trailer below.

These newly enhanced versions include:

• Online cross-platform deathmatch and co-op for up to 16 players
• Community published single-player mod support with an in-game mod browser
• Optimized renderer
• Accessibility options
• Optional IDKFA soundtrack by Andrew Hulshult selectable alongside the original midi soundtracks – including the never-before-released IDKFA version of DOOM II
• Improved performance with multithreaded rendering supporting up to 4K resolution and 120 FPS on Xbox Series X|S, PC and PlayStation 5
• Brand new episode, “Legacy of Rust,” with new weapons and demons made in collaboration by individuals from id Software, Nightdive Studios, and MachineGames

Existing owners of DOOM (1993) and/or DOOM II on any of the above platforms receive a free upgrade to the new combined game and can still access their previously owned versions.
