    The original Doom and Doom 2 are back in a big way: Bethesda Softworks announced at QuakeCon today that newly-updated editions of the groundbreaking 1990s shooters, bundled with a pile of additional content, are now available in a single package.

    Developed in partnership with Nightdive and id Software, the Doom + Doom 2 bundle features cross-platform deathmatch and co-op gameplay for up to 16 players, modding tools that enable modders to share their work directly in-game (sounds similar to the mod integration in Bethesda's RPGs), and an updated soundtrack by Andrew Hulshult including brand-new Doom 2 recordings (although you can opt for the original soundtrack if you prefer). There's also a range of new accessibility options including more legible fonts and a high-contrast mode, plus improved performance with support for 4K resolutions via Nightdive's Kex engine.

    The full package includes:

    • Doom
    • Doom 2
    • TNT: Evilution
    • The Plutonia Experiment
    • Master Levels for Doom 2
    • No Rest for the Living
    • Sigil (that's the one John Romero made a few years back)
    • Legacy of Rust (an all-new episode created by id Software, Nightdive, and MachineGames)
    • A new deathmatch map pack with 26 maps

    All told, that comes to 187 mission maps and 43 deathmatch maps across Doom and Doom 2—that should keep you blasting for a while.

    Doom + Doom 2 is out now and available on Steam , GOG , and the Epic Games Store . If you already own the enhanced versions of Doom on Steam, the update edition is yours for free. Bethesda also announced the new Doom Anthology at QuakeCon today, a physical edition bundle of Doom, Doom 2, Doom 3, the 2016 Doom reboot, and Doom Eternal Deluxe Edition that comes in Steelbook game case and includes a five-inch, LED-lit replica of the famed BFG. It's set to launch on October 22.
