Play ‘DOOM: The Dark Ages’ in Classic ‘Doom’ With ‘DOOM Darkfall’ Mod
Last year, classic Doom fans received a cool mod inspired by DOOM: The Dark Ages and its Saw Shield. Now, modding group Darkfall have gone one step further and created a whole DOOM: The Dark Ages-inspired mod for Doom and Doom II, complete with the gameplay, weapons, Saw Shield, melee items & more.
Currently in the second pre-alpha, the DOOM Darkfall mod does have a few placeholders in it at the moment, so it’s still very much WIP. However, the mod does allow you to perform glory kills, sports the Saw Shield, the Skull Crusher gun that chews up skulls and spits out the results as some badass flechette launcher, a new shotgun, a flail that allows you to get medieval with some combo work, the accompanying medieval architecture and so on.
Heck, the team is even doing up new music for the mod, courtesy of composer SatouVA. You can preview a track here.
To get this mod running, you’ll need the original Doom and Doom II wads, as well as use GZDoom. You can find the instructions on the Darkfall MODDB page.
DOOM: The Dark Ages arrives May 15 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and the PC via Steam. It’ll also be available on Xbox Game Pass.
Thanks to DSOGaming for the heads up.
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
