They bring new enemies and new bosses, along with some never-before-seen environments in the classic psuedo-3D art style. The new levels are designed for players who are already very familiar with the game’s mechanics, so expect some high difficulty, along with branching paths and puzzles that are a bit more modern. Because the new levels are published by Bethesda (owners of original DOOM developer Id), they can be considered a semi-official expansion. They add some fresh variety to the original game, now nearing 30 years old. Now they’re available via the add-on menu in Bethesda’s official rerelease of DOOM and DOOM II. The new levels, collectively called DOOM Zero, were released last year as a mod pack for the original coded version on the PC. And now it can run even more DOOM: the recent official rerelease of the original game on consoles has been updated with 32 new levels, designed by noted Doom mod developer Christopher Golden. Can it run DOOM? The answer is almost certainly “yes,” whether you’re talking about a screaming desktop PC, a cheap laptop, or a smart refrigerator.
