‘DOOM 64’ Now Has a Steam Page, Will Include New Chapter Upon Release
We won’t have to wait much longer to get our hands on DOOM Eternal, nor will we have to wait much longer to get a taste of nostalgia reborn in DOOM 64, which is a pre-order bonus for DOOM Eternal. In fact, the latter now has a Steam page.
If that’s not enough, Nightdive Studios (who are handling the DOOM 64 port) have revealed to US Gamer that the port will include a brand-new chapter!
“On our end, persistent players will have the opportunity to unlock a new chapter in the Doomguy’s saga, taking place shortly after [Doom 64’s] original campaign concludes,” explains senior developer James Haley. “The Mother Demon you defeated in that outing had a sister, and since you’ve been messing up Hell non-stop, she tries to get rid of you by sending you away. If you can make your way back and take revenge, you’ll be rewarded with a bit of lore that fans of both series, new and classic, should enjoy.”
DOOM 64 is due out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC on March 20, and is included as a free pre-order bonus for DOOM Eternal.
After the surprise reveal of SAW: Genesis at Summer Game Fest, Bloober Team has followed up the reveal with a new video giving an overview of the features available to players in the upcoming asymmetrical multiplayer title.
Co-developed by Broken Mirror Games and Anshar Studios, the game is set in the grim aftermath of World War I, where you play on either side of a 3v1 confrontation in intense matches that take place on procedurally generated maps. The game is built for short, intense matches where no two trials play out the same.
Players can either step into the role of the Judge, an early architect of Jigsaw’s philosophy, manipulating the trial and its prisoners from behind the scenes. Or, they can play as one of three Accused looking to escape the deadly labyrinth through teamwork and sacrifice. Shaped by their experiences in The Great War, the Judge is dedicated to rehabilitating humanity through pain and sacrifice.
Your goal as the Judge is to rehabilitate the Accused, making them choose between life and limb rather than killing them. Live or die. They make their choice.
Customize your approach with perks and traps, then seek to control the match from the shadows. Unlike other asymmetrical multiplayer games, the Judge is physically vulnerable and cannot overpower the Accused through sheer force alone.
SAW: Genesis is currently in development for release into Steam Early Access.
