DOOM 2 Gets First New Level In Nearly 30 Years To Support Ukraine
Legendary game developer John Romero has announced a brand-new level for DOOM 2 — the first in nearly 30 years — which is being sold to raise funds for relief in Ukraine. As Russia's invasion of the country continues, many in the gaming industry have spoken out against Russia, with the developers of games including Chernobylite and This War of Mine donating to relief efforts.
There are a number of video game studios not only located within Ukraine, but also in surrounding areas, many of which have shown their support for the country since the Russian attacks began in late February. The Polish developer behind The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt Red, was one of the first names in gaming to condemn Russia's actions, announcing it would be donating nearly $250,000 to humanitarian efforts in Ukraine. Meanwhile, Ukrainian S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 developer GSC Game World has confirmed that production on the game has stopped, but confidently declared that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 would be back in development as soon as possible.
