‘SIGIL’ Delayed Yet Again, Creator John Romero Talks ‘DOOM’ and Satanists
Okay, the bad news is that Romero’s spiritual successor to Ultimate DOOM, SIGIL, has been delayed once again. It seems that Limited Run Games have been having trouble getting all of the goodies for the physical release completed. There’s light at the end of the tunnel, however, so it won’t be long.
However, while we wait for the eventual LAN parties, John Romero made an appearance on the Black Mass Appeal podcast to talk about, what else, DOOM. Specifically, Romero chats about that fateful (or ill-fated) D&D campaign that inspired the legendary shooter, as well as the uproar that resulted from those concerned parents about the game’s Satanic imagery.
No revised release date for SIGIL has been announced, but it won’t be long now.
