‘Doom’ Creator John Romero Is Making 18 New Levels For Original Game“Doom” designer John Romero and his studio, Romero Games, is releasing a free “megawad” called “Sigil” for the original 1993 first-person shooter.
In “Doom” parlance, a megawad is a fan-made batch of 15 levels or more. “Sigil” has 18 levels — nine single-player and nine deathmatch. It’s the spiritual successor to the fourth episode of “Doom” and it picks up where the original left off, according to its official website.
In addition to the megawad, Romero Games is also offering two limited edition “Sigil” fan boxes created by Limited Run Games. They feature music by legendary metal guitarist Buckethead, including a custom song written for “Sigil,” along with cover art by metal album artist Christopher Lovell.
