Footage of Cancelled ‘DOOM 4’ Project Appears in New Noclip Documentary on 2016’s ‘DOOM’ Development [Video]
A few years back, a Reddit user posted what was purported to be footage from id Software’s cancelled DOOM 4. Now video game documentary channel NoClip has released a new documentary featuring more footage from this effort to bring back DOOM before id settled on rebooting the series with 2016’s DOOM.
The documentary talks about how the Noclip crew visited id Software’s headquarters back in 2016 before the release of DOOM, where they were treated to seeing the cancelled project that would have been DOOM 4 before id Software scrapped everything and went ahead with the reboot.
Per GameSpot, DOOM 4 was cancelled due to the game lacking personality, and feeling more like a Call of Duty clone. id Software executive producer Marty Stratton said at the time that the team had “explored a direction and got to a certain point and felt like this really wasn’t capturing what we felt like was going to be a strong DOOM and what the fans would want from it.”
Footage of the cancelled project has appeared online before, but was quickly removed due to copyright issues.
The latest entry in the series, DOOM Eternal, is currently available on all consoles and PC, with the latest releases being on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series.

Atari is reaching back for fans of the classic GameCube and Xbox fighter Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee with a remastered edition that’s coming November 3 to PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch 2. The PS5 and Switch 2 will also be receiving physical versions that you can pre-order now.
“There is a real sense of responsibility that comes with working on Godzilla, especially with a fan-favorite title like Destroy All Monsters Melee,” explains Atari chief creative officer Mike Mika. “It is only natural that Atari, as the original publisher in 2002, would partner with Pipeworks, the original developer and kaiju experts to bring their creation back to center stage—bigger, better and more destructive than ever.”
The ultimate kaiju arena brawler is back, completely remastered. From Atari and original developer, Pipeworks, Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered updates the 2002 fighter with enhanced visuals and quality of life improvements. Choose from one of twelve monsters, and battle it out with a range of brutal attacks through 8 locations, each with day and night variations. Battle through real-world cities, Monster Island, and the alien Mothership. Face off against your friends in local co-op or new online multiplayer.
Along with the updated visuals, Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered also features gameplay updates, as well as an improved unlock system, so you can unlock monsters, locations, and gallery items in any order you choose.
