As QuakeCon begins, DOOM fans have plenty to look forward to. Aside from the general hype for the next mainline release, DOOM: The Dark Ages, which was announced at the June 2024 Xbox Showcase and will be launching sometime next year, featuring the Doom Slayer in a medieval-type setting equipped with an array of weapons that introduce more modern advancements to this era, id Software also announced updated versions of DOOM and DOOM 2 with expanded multiplayer support, a completely new official story episode with new weapons and demons, and a newly-updated soundtrack. However, as hyped as I am to jump back in and play these new versions of the games, the announcement that has really caught my eye involves 2020’s DOOM Eternal.
