After several delays, old-school (and new-school) DOOM fans will finally *knock on wood* get their chance to play Romero’s spiritual successor, SIGIL, this Friday.

Romero confirmed the news on his Romero Games site, which should be a relief to not only those who have waited for the game, but also for those who have been waiting since the beginning of the year for the physical edition set by Limited Run Games.

On top of all that, Romero has given a little interview on his website, saying how no one knew that DOOM would have had the impact that it did 25 years later. “Aside from the impact it had on what would become the FPS genre, I believe the most important legacy of DOOM is its community, the people who have kept it alive for 25 years through the creation of mods and tools.”

He’s not wrong. Given the likes of Brutal DOOM, the numerous total conversions and some of the weirdest things you’ll ever play, DOOM has undeniably stood the test of time. Get ready to rip and tear again this Friday.
