With his unofficial Doom mod being released in 2019, fans hope that his latest addition will be just as popular and help keep the love for his and Carmack's creation going for even longer. The chance to see more content from the original creator shows that he is just as keen to return to the original games as the fans are. The fact that John Romero himself is working on the mod is exciting enough for most fans. Recently, Bethesda also released some new add-ons for the original Doom games. While it's usually the fan base that tends to put out the majority of the custom maps, it's not unusual for big companies to do the same. These are typically given a ton of love from fans and modders so John Romero talking about Sigil 2 is likely to draw some attention. Romero has always been supportive of the modding community, believing that modders should be "rewarded" for their work, adding that if game companies reward programmers and designers, why shouldn't people in the community be treated the same.Įven though the reboot of Doom, and the subsequent Doom Eternal, are seen in such high regard and proof that the franchise is far from dead, many continue to return to the original games. He also said that this is a mod for Doom 2 specifically, and not the original Doom, which the first Sigil mod was made for and has been labelled as an unofficial fifth episode to the game. When asked about a possible release date, Romero suggested that it wouldn't be coming out soon. RELATED: Classic Doom Gets a Visual Polish Mod While it's a long interview, the part about Sigil 2 can be found at around the 42:11 mark. Taking a second to think about it, John Romero told Bridgeburner that he has been making some "cool" maps for Sigil 2, an upcoming mod for Doom 2.
Speaking in an interview recently, the ex-id Software programmer was asked about any new projects that were currently being worked on. So many decades later, and fans are still building additional content for the original classics. One of the things that has kept the older games going for so long is mods, like the Doom 2 add-on which is made entirely out of post-in notes. Both the original game, and Doom 2, have been landmark titles in kickstarting the FPS genre. When the first Doom game came out in 1993, id Software founders John Carmack and John Romero probably did not realize just how much an impact it would have on the gaming world.
