The set will feature a re-mastered version of both Doom 3, and its Resurrection of Evil add-on, as well as seven new levels titled ‘The Lost Mission.’ The Doom 3 BFG Edition will also include the original Doom, and Doom II, which were the main games that defined the first person shooter as a genre in the early days of gaming.
