Sigil 2 acts as a direct sequel toSigil, which itself looked to extend the story of Doom beyond its climactic fight against the Spidermastermind in E4M8 - albeit as an unofficial fifth episode.
EvenDuke Nukemco-creator George Broussard got in on the action from his fellow nineties FPS luminary,saying: “It’s brilliantly fun and hard. Would have been the “Dark Soulsof FPS games” if it shipped in 1993!”
Happy 30th birthday, DOOM. I’m grateful to have been a part of this incredible team. Thank you for playing our games, and thank you for keeping DOOM alive, all these many years.pic.twitter.com/ZBzGqdXXBo— John Romero 🤘🏽 (@romero)December 10, 2023

Also true to OG Doom are a number of secrets dotted throughout the levels, including a fireblu texture - a reference to a popular meme in the Doom community - hidden somewhere in every level that players will need to find and shoot to open a secret room and achieve 100% completion.
“Today’s tools are amazing,” Romero said inour recent look back at Doom’s 30 years. “It’s funny, because I believe that Doom level design has still not been exhausted. I’m still doing new things.”
Sigil 2 isfree to download from Romero’s website, which also offers some fancy (and not free) physical editions with other goodies like artwork, a shotgun shell USB stick and even a signed floppy disk with the campaign on, if you’re after that 1993 nostalgia. Happy birthday, Doom.
