New 'Doom' levels to come in Feb. 2019 from game designer John Romero

For a 25-year-old game, "Doom" is showing plenty of life. For starters, John Romero, one of the game designers of the original 1993 PC game "Doom," is working on a new release that will build on that game, which was inducted into the Video Game Hall of Fame in 2015. The new game, called "Sigil," will be available free as a download when it is released in mid-February 2019, Romero said in an announcement on the Romero Games website. Players will need to have the original 1993 version of "Doom" to play the new game. "Sigil," Romero says, "is the spiritual successor to the fourth episode of'Doom,' and picks up where the original left off."
