Fans of the classic Doom series have exciting news to keep them engaged while eagerly awaiting the release of The Dark Ages. The recent update for Doom + Doom II, a rerelease of the iconic titles from id Software, brings a significant enhancement: the addition of multiplayer mod support. This update, rolled out on Tuesday, has revitalized the gameplay experience, allowing for even more thrilling encounters in the underworld.
The initial launch in August introduced the bundle for multiple platforms, including PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch, with features for mods and multiplayer gameplay. However, the integration of these two exciting elements was lacking until now. The latest update from Bethesda allows players to enjoy multiplayer modes with mods, provided they follow some guidelines to ensure a smooth experience.
To successfully utilize the multiplayer mod feature, hosts must activate each mod prior to entering the multiplayer menu. Additionally, all participants in the match need to subscribe to the same mod before they can join. It’s essential to note that only mods created using Vanilla DOOM, DeHackEd, MBF21, or BOOM will work in this multiplayer setting, ensuring compatibility across the board.
The anticipation for Doom: The Dark Ages is building as it gears up for its launch on May 15. Set against the backdrop of the medieval wastelands of Hell, this new installment promises to deliver exhilarating new features such as epic mech battles and the thrilling ability to ride a cyber dragon. This captivating premise is sure to excite long-time fans and newcomers alike, making it a must-play title in the Doom franchise.
