‘DOOM 64’ Rated For PC, PS4
Back in 1997, the Nintendo 64 was graced with its own version of DOOM. DOOM 64 was essentially a sequel to DOOM II, but featured all of the enemies and weapons (albeit redrawn) from the previous game. And while the game has been playable thanks to emulation, it’s never received a release outside of the N64.
That appears to be changing, as according to a PEGI rating, the game looks to be headed to the PC and the PlayStation 4. The rating was spotted by Gematsu, though the listing has now been scrubbed from the PEGI website. Nevertheless, like the slip last week, Bethesda is looking to go all out for DOOM this year.
The latest game in the franchise, DOOM Eternal, is due out this year for the Nintendo Switch, PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

Illfonic and Gun Interactive have revealed another map for Halloween: The Game in the Orange Grove Estates. Not only that, but fans can finally start pre-ordering the physical game on PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series, which will arrive on October 6.
Meanwhile, the digital version is sticking with the September 8 release date.
Teaming up with Nighthawk Interactive, there will be two editions for the physical edition: the Standard Edition will be available for MSRP $39.99, while the Limited Collector’s Edition will be available for MSRP $149.99.
The Standard Edition of Halloween: The Game will include a copy of the game for PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X, an exclusive poster, and advance access to the Michael Myers Clown skin and two civilian cosmetics.
Meanwhile, the Limited Collector’s Edition will include a copy of the game, plus an exclusive Trick or Treat Studios Shape Jump variant action figure, exclusive lenticular art, an exclusive poster, advance access to the Michael Myers Samhain and Clown skins, advance access to the two civilian cosmetics from the Standard edition and two additional civilian cosmetics, and more surprises to be revealed at a later date.
As for the Orange Grove Estates, this is an upscale neighborhood in one of Haddonfield’s affluent corners. Multi-story houses surround a playground and basketball court, and expansive yards turn every fence and hedge into a fresh hiding (or hunting) ground. The map’s open layout reshapes how players move between structures, opening up new opportunities for collaboration while widening the lines of sight that can give a hero (or The Shape) away. The larger, multi-story homes also introduce precarious upper-floor encounters that every player will need to account for.
“Every neighborhood in Halloween: The Game is designed to change how you play, and Orange Grove Estates is our most ambitious map yet,” said Jared Gerritzen, Chief Creative Officer, IllFonic. “The open layout and multi-story homes force players to rethink their every action as it could compromise their line of sight, collaboration, and escape, whether they are playing as a Civilian or Myers. Players will learn to dip, dodge, and scan surroundings for options to find an escape route. Pairing this map’s reveal with our physical editions felt like the perfect way to celebrate the physical pre-order launch.”
In addition to the physical editions, Halloween: The Game will launch digitally on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
