This year is full of surprising news for gaming, some would say that the unthinkable just happened. Today, the masterminds behind the games that gave birth to a popular genre known as first person shooters such as Wolfestein 3D and Doom are back together to create a brand new FPS game with today’s latest technology in gaming.
The game in question will be called Blackroom, and it will feature the classic FPS formula that Adrian Carmack and John Romero were known for back in the day, such as level exploration, speed, and intense, weaponized combat, combined with fast, skillful movement to dodge enemy attacks, circle-strafe your foes, and rule the air as you rocket jump in the single- and multiplayer modes.
You can check their Kickstarter video down below:
“Powered by Unreal Engine 4 and fully moddable on PC, the game is being developed with community at its core, starting with today’s launch of a Kickstarter campaign to fund development.
• Reign supreme in a variety of multiplayer modes, including co-op, 1-on-1 deathmatch and free-for-all arena in a wide variety of locations including hardcore military sims, hellish infernos and interstellar space.
• Delve into a captivating 10+ hour single-player campaign, spanning wildly varied environments, from ruined Victorian mansions to wild west ghost towns to swashbuckling pirate galleons and beyond.
• Master fast, skillful movement with rocket jumping, strafe jumping and circle strafing.

• Extend your experience with full mod support and dedicated servers.
