John Romero is working on Sigil 2 expansion for Doom 2

John Romero is working on a sequel to Sigil, the free expansion he released in 2019 for the original Doom. Sigil 2 is based on Doom 2. When the new expansion appears, it is not yet known.

Sigil 2, according to Romero, will contain many levels and, like Sigil, should be challenging, with a consistently increasing difficulty. The developer says he has made a “cool map” and that it will be “a lot of fun”, but he does not give substantive details about the new expansion.

The expansion for Doom 2 appears to be still in a relatively early stage of development. Romero does not want to say anything about an appearance date. Romero revealed the existence of Sigil 2 in a conversation during the Realms Deep 2021 live stream. That event of game company 3D Realms puts retro shooters in the spotlight.

Romero was one of the original creators of the Doom games in the 1990s. The rights are now with Microsoft, which has also incorporated id Software through the Bethesda acquisition. Like the first part, Sigil 2 will therefore probably be an unofficial extension in the form of a WAD file.

In 2015, John Romero founded the studio Romero Games with his wife Brenda Romero. He released Sigil in 2019 and Empire of Sin followed in 2020. Sigil 2 is also being released under the banner of Romero Games.
