What happened
The studio just launched Revelations, a meaty expansion for Doom: The Dark Ages that adds a powerful new weapon and more demonic levels to blast through. Doom’s new expansion shows just what makes id Software special Nobody makes games like id. If you like modern Doom, you’ll probably like everything else Revelations includes. If what I just described sounds like it could have been said about Doom 2016 or Doom Eternal, you’re right. id knows what a Doom game is and what it wants a Doom game to be, and Revelations is one of the best examples yet of what modern Doom can be. It’s unclear what id’s future is; GamesBeat says the studio had been trying out ideas like a multiplayer or co-op version of Doom, a John Wick-style game, and even a new Perfect Dark.
