John Carmack and John Romero will celebrate Doom's 30th Anniversary together in a special stream "To Hell and Back"
The original Doom was released back in 1993, and the influence and importance that the game had is still felt to this day, with its innovative 3D gaming technology to which id Software were pioneers (thanks to John Carmacks dark magic in programming), its demonic level design (thanks in part to John Romero's level designs) and also, Doom was one of the top 3 games that caused a stir back in the 90s due to the violence and gore depicted in it, eventually opening the way to what would be the ESRB and other rating boards worldwide.
The "To Hell and Back" stream will go live on December 10th, 2023 at 8pm GMT, and will feature both John Carmack and John Romero over at John Romero's Twitch channel, theromero. The same date also marks the release of John Romero's unofficial 6th episode for Doom, titled Sigil "II". December seems to be packed full of Doom content, and with rumours of a new Doom game floating around, we could also expect even more Doom news to drop on that date.
