I’m getting a sense of déjà vu with this, but this certainly won’t be another Daikatana.
Sigil, the upcoming Romero-authored “unofficial spiritual successor” to Ultimate Doom, has seen another delay. Originally scheduled for release this past February, the game was pushed back to this month. However, due to problems with the planned physical release, the game will now see a May release.
The good news for fans is that Sigil the megawad is finished, and will still be free for everyone to snag. However, the free release won’t go out until a week after the paid release, as Romero wants to ensure that people paying for the boxed editions get the game first (as intended).
SIGIL Update: The game itself is done, but due to some production issues with the coin and my severed head, the big boxes are not ready to ship. Sorry! I can’t release the free version until the Beast Box ships. #DOOM
