Fans of Doom have a "megawad" of new levels to play for free, courtesy of publisher Bethesda.
As PCGamesN reports(Opens in a new window), Bethesda released a new, free add-on pack(Opens in a new window) for Doom and Doom II this week. It consists of a 27-map expansion pack called Base Ganymede(Opens in a new window), which offers both single-player and co-op multiplayer. You can watch the first level of Base Ganymede being played in the video below:
The expansion pack isn't new, having originally been developed by Australian level designer and musiciain Adam Woodmansey(Opens in a new window), also known as Khorus. Base Ganymede consists of three sets of nine levels called Episode 1, Episode 2, and Episode 3. Woodmansey originally released Episode 1 in Nov. 2009, Episode 2 in Nov. 2010, and completed the set with Episode 3 in Jan. 2012.
The expansion was well-received on release, counts as one of the best fan-made packs, and managed to win the 2012 Cacowards on Doomworld.
Bethesda curated, sanctioned, and released the complete Base Ganymede experience yesterday as an official add-on pack available from the add-on menu in either the Doom or Doom II re-release. There's also a soundtrack for the expansion which was composed by another Doom level designer and musician known as Mr. Freeze(Opens in a new window).
