The DOOM franchise is a staple gaming series. With fans all over the world, we’ve created our very own DOOM Gaming Set-Up to aid you in your conquests as the Doom Slayer.
DOOM
As a gaming franchise that goes all the way back to 1993, DOOM holds a special place in the hearts of gamers. The first game in the series was released in 1993 and the latest in 2020. Its success as a first-person shooter has left its mark on the gaming industry and a huge expansive list of games in the series. Each one is just as popular as the other, making it difficult for fans to pick out their favourite.
The premise of each title is similar. Play as the Doom Slayer as you hunt down and destroy hordes of relentless demons. Whether you are protecting Earth or one of the Union Aerospace Corporation’s (UAC) research bases, you’ll be equipped with plenty of destructive weaponry.
For our DOOM inspired gaming set-up, we’ll be taking inspiration from the latest game in the franchise – DOOM Eternal. We’ve listed the official specifications down below.
