A new combined version of Downfall And Downfall 2 is available now on PC, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. It brings a host of new features and improvements, including a brand new episode created in collaboration with developers id Software, Nightdive Studios, and MachineGames.
Originally released in 1993 and 1994 respectively, Downfall And Downfall 2 are legendary first-person shooter (FPS) games that established many of the genre conventions we still see today. They’ve both been ported numerous times in the past, but this new edition, revealed as part of this year’s ongoing Quakecon convention, is something of a definitive release.
Upgrades include online cross-platform multiplayer (both competitive and co-op modes supporting up to 16 players), full support for community-published single-player mods through an integrated mod browser, new accessibility options, and an optional modern soundtrack. This is on top of improved performance across the board, including support for 120fps framerates and 4K resolution on PC, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PlayStation 5.
Downfall And Downfall 2 now a new official episode with new demon enemies and also new weapons. It is called “Legacy of Rust” and takes place in a run-down base in a remote area of hell. There is also a new deathmatch map pack added, with 25 multiplayer maps.
Longtime fans will also likely appreciate the addition of the id Vault, which contains everything from early development concepts to unused material that never made it into the games.
It sounds like an incredible port, all things considered, especially for the modest asking price of $9.99 / £7.99. This version, officially titled Doom + Doom 2is also available for free for those who already have a Downfall or Downfall 2 (or both) on any supported platform, which is an absolutely fantastic bonus.
