On December 10th, 2018, John Romero announced Sigil a wad containing nine single-player and nine deathmatch levels. However, the spiritual successor to episode four of 1993’s Doom  was initially delayed to mid- February 2019, and now it’s slated to release on May 31st of this year for PC.

On May 25th, Romero Games announced that Sigil will be available to download for free in the not so distant future over on romerogames.ie — where the end of this month is the wad’s due date.

The free version’s date and time are shown below:

If you haven’t received your copy of the “SIGIL Standard Edition Box PC Megawad” or the “SIGIL Beast Box PC Megawad,” where the former can be seen unboxed below thanks to YouTuber Chubzdoomer:

On release, players must own either the original 1993 registered version of Doom or some other versions of the classic FPS to play Sigil.

As for the wad itself, the “megawad” is the spiritual successor to the fourth episode of Doom and picks up where the original left off. However, it seems that not all is fine and dandy in hell. According to YouTuber GmanLives and his time with the wad, exploring the nine stages of hell, he believes it could use some help:
