Free upgrades offered to previous owners.

id Software, working with Nightdive Studios, just re-released Heretic + Hexen. Yep, it's a two-for-one special here with today's re-release, which includes improved performance for modern platforms, an enhanced soundtrack from Andrew Hulshult, cross-platform and local split-screen deathmatch, co-op, in-game mod support, and more.

Those who already own Heretic or Hexen already will get free upgrades to the new versions. Plus,...

The re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-release.

QuakeCon kicked off today and with it came a few new announcements and releases.

First up is a new re-release for both DOOM and DOOM 2 by id Software. These games have been enhanced and combined into a single bundle. This new definitive edition, co-developed with Nightdive Studios, is now available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Game Pass, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

The enhancements include...

Doom Slayer, Geralt, motor bikes, augments, and so much more.

Yesterday, the third chapter of Fortnite Battle Royale came to an end. Today, Chapter 4 launched with yet another major update to the map, a new Battle Pass, new gear, new unlocks, new cosmetics, and everything else.

On the surface, one of the most apparent changes in this new chapter is the move to Unreal Engine 5.1. Epic Games also included some new ways to get around the map that include a dirt bike, rolling...

It's part of the new 6.66 update for the game.

Bethesda and id Software announced the release of the 6.66 update for DOOM Eternal today. This update adds, among other things, a brand new horde mode.

This arcade-style mode will start you off with all perks, all runes, and all upgrades and drop you into the fray with only a Combat Shotgun at the ready. You will have to defeat weaves of demons in order to unlock additional weapons. There are three different maps included...

Enter a contest for a chance to purchase this.

Bethesda and Nvidia have partnered to offer an exclusive DOOM Eternal GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Limited Edition Demon Slayer Bundle. I feel like at least a few of those words could have been cut out and still made sense, but what do I know about making titles?

This bundle includes DOOM Eternal, various physical items, and the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics card.

Now, there is a catch to this. This bundle won't...

Rip and tear on the go!


The first part of The Ancient Gods DLC for DOOM Eternal was just released for the Nintendo Switch. Now you can continue the fight against evil while on the go.

You can pick up either the full Expansion Pass for $29.99 (USD) or just buy the first part for $19.99 through Nintendo. ...

It's Doom Eternal but more pretty.

The next-gen update for Doom Eternal will be released on June 29 for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This free update will offer improved visuals, better performance, support for ray tracing, and will include a variety of performance modes.

A breakdown of the various graphical modes can be found below. ...

Don't worry, they're probably sold out already anyway.

Nvidia's Computex presentation brought some tasty new, but expected, announcements last night. First up, the technology giant announced two new entries in their GTX 30xx GPU series. These are the RTX 3080 Ti and the RTX 3070 Ti.

The RTX 3080 Ti will "launch" on June 3 for $1,199 (USD). It includes 12GB of GDDR6X memory, a whole 2GB increase over the vanilla GTX 3080 card and half of the GTX 3090. That price...

Just as we suspected.

Earlier this week, we were granted a little look at DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods - Part Two thanks to a short teaser. It was said at that time that we would see a longer trailer coming out on Wednesday, March 17. That would be today. Sure enough, we were given a longer trailer today.

At the same time, it was also speculated that we would get a release of Part Two this week. Sure enough, that also panned out quite nicely.

Tomorrow, March...

It's short, but it's better than nothing.

A short teaser trailer for DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods - Part Two was just released. This trailer shows us a bit of the upcoming conclusion to the DLC that began back in October 2020 for DOOM Eternal. Bethesda and id Software revealed this new trailer in the early hours this morning.

Though short, the trailer seems to show off enough to suggest a massive war is taking place. We also get a quick look at the new hammer weapon...

Game director had put a lot of thought into the idea.

During a recent Bethesda stream, DOOM Eternal game director Hugo Martin said that he put a lot of thought into how to incorporate a female Slayer into the franchise. He says that he would want the female Slayer to be more than just a simple reskin of the Slayer we have all come to know (and love?).

You can listen to Martin field the question at the 59m32s mark of their recent Twitch stream, or read the transcript below. ...

I mean... I guess?

2020 is the year that just won't let up. This time, we're being told that the 2020 Game of the Year at The Steam Awards was none other than Red Dead Redemption 2. That is surprising, to say the least, when its competition for the year included games like Hades, Death Stranding, Fall Guys, and even DOOM Eternal. But it is what it is and it is a GOTY winner when all is said and done.

Do keep in mind that this game was voted on by Steam users to be their...

Featuring new challenges and rewards.

The Master Levels for DOOM Eternal have been few and far between. The game launched with just one Master Level, or two if you had pre-ordered. There was a promise of more to come in the future. Thankfully, there is a new one available right now.

Today, a new Master Level was released for DOOM Eternal. That brings the total up to a whopping three Master Level maps. Fans can download and play the Super Gore Nest Master Level. To those...
