Sigil

About

Sigil is a first-person shooter set in the Doom universe, tasking players with navigating 18 new levels of Hell to stop a corrupted gatekeeper. Designed by John Romero, it bridges the gap between Doom and Doom II with fast-paced combat and claustrophobic level design. Players battle demonic enemies across procedurally generated areas, using a mix of firearms and environmental hazards. The game retains the classic Doom formula but adds new movement mechanics and weapon behaviors to keep the action fresh. Built on the KEX Engine, Sigil offers mod support and runs smoothly on modern hardware with multithreaded rendering. It includes both the original MIDI soundtrack and a remixed version by Andrew Hulshult. Accessibility options and translations into eight languages expand its reach. Available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch, it launched August 8, 2024. Community feedback highlights its tight gunplay and seamless integration into the Doom timeline, with some fans praising it as one of the most polished mod projects in recent years.
