John Romero still isn’t done with Doom; the legendary designer has confirmed he’s currently working on a follow-up to his “unofficial” Doom episode, Sigil.
Announced to coincide with Doom’s 25th anniversary in 2018 and released as a free megawad the following year, Sigil was designed as the unofficial fifth episode in the original Doom saga – picking up after Ultimate Doom’s They Flesh Consumed – and treated fans to 18 brand-new, Romero-designed levels: nine single-player and nine death match.
Two years on from its release, Sigil was looking increasingly like a one-off experiment for Romero, but now – in a new video interview with Bridgeburner, lead developer on Doom total conversion The Age of Hell (skip to the 42-minute mark) – the designer has confirmed he’s currently working on a sequel, this time utilising Doom 2.
