As seen in a listing on Steam as QuakeCon 2024 kicks off, id Software's DOOM and DOOM II are being combined in a new enhanced bundle. This bundle includes a number of improvements, with 4K and 120 FPS support on compatible hardware now that the games are running on the KEX engine, as well as cross-play for up to 16 players and new accessibility options like font changes, text-to-speech, speech-to-text, and more.
Players can also swap between the original soundtrack and the newest version from composer Andrew Hulshult, who previously worked with id Software for the soundtrack on DOOM Eternal's Ancient Gods DLC. The latter option also includes some new recordings for DOOM II.
In addition to the previously-released levels, there's also a new single-player episode called Legacy of Rust. This episode has been co-developed by id Software, Nightdive Studios, and MachineGames.
