Bethesda Adds “Base Ganymede” Add-on to ‘Doom’, ‘Doom II’ in Latest Update
We could always use more Doom in our lives. Thankfully, Bethesda is on the same page, and has done so by releasing a free megawad for its classic 1993 shooter. Titled “Base Ganymede”, this new add-on adds a new campaign to Doom consisting of a whopping 27 maps set on Jupiter’s largest moon.
Originally created by Adam ‘Khorus’ Woodmansey back in 2009 with the first episode and fully released in 2012, “Base Ganymede” consists of three episodes with nine levels each, and can actually be downloaded separately over at ModDB, if you so choose. The pack “sticks to vanilla limits”, so it can be enjoyed in Doom II as well as the original Doom.
“Base Ganymede” was well-received by the Doom community when it was released, snagging a Cacowards nod in 2012 from Doomworld. Paired with John Romero‘s spiritual successor to Doom in SIGIL (which is also available from the in-game add-ons list), and you have yourself enough classic Doom goodness to last for quite a while.
Doom and Doom II are available on Steam, as well as on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch.

If you were wondering just where Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy was all this time, you won’t have to wait much longer. Publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Asobo Studio have announced via a new trailer that the game will launch for the Xbox Series, Day One with Xbox Game Pass, as well as PlayStation 5 and Steam on August 27.
Pre-orders are open now, and include the Heritage Pack DLC and an in-game digital artbook.
Set 15 years before A Plague Tale: Requiem, play as Sophia, a fierce young plunderer, on the run and determined to uncover the secrets of her past. Dive into an original story blending combat, myth and fate with a brand new take in the universe of A Plague Tale.
Sophia’s journey leads to the Minotaur’ Island, where she faces deadly trials, navigates treacherous trails, solves puzzles, all while fighting and staying one step ahead of the army chasing her. But the true challenge awaits, as the terrifying creature hidden behind the myth will soon resonate with her.
Followed by many enemies, each drawn to the Island to reclaim a mysterious treasure, you must navigate a treacherous maze. Rely on your agility, tricks and sharp reflexes to outsmart enemies, perfect your parries, and unleash powerful strikes to survive deadly encounters. Players will shift between the Middle Age of Sophia and ancient Minoan times, where echoes of the past shape the battles of the present.
