The Doom Classic Unity port is a series of official ports of Doom and Doom II initially developed by Nerve Software in cooperation with id Software and first published by Bethesda on July 26, 2019 as part of the 'Year of Doom' promotional campaign. It was initially announced on stage during the QuakeCon 2019 (DoomCon) keynote presentation. The port is based on the Doom Classic codebase, but replaces the id Tech 4 shell with one based on the Unity game engine. This offers immediate portability to a wide array of targets - the Doom and Doom II ports were available at initial launch for the SonyPlayStation 4, NintendoSwitch, MicrosoftXbox One, the Google Play app store for Android, and Apple's iOS app store. The January 9, 2020 patch added a PC version via the Bethesda.net distribution platform. This was also extended to the Steam distribution platform by the September 3, 2020 update.

Architecture[edit]
Remember those retro Doom ports that arrived for the current-gen consoles last year? Flawed in many respects, they were a genuine disappointment. The Switch version of DOOM Eternal will launch via the Nintendo eShop on December 8, publisher Bethesda Softworks and developer id Software announced. Here is an overview of the game, via.
Although utilizing the Unity engine, this is a true Doom engine port, not a Unity recreation. Unity is merely used as a shell—more formally referred to as an abstraction layer—for handling input and output, while rendering is still performed by the original Doom engine.[1] The actual Doom game code is contained in a DLL which is loaded by the Unity framework to run the game; this allows simplified portability.[2]
Static limits are raised and engine bugs are fixed on a case-by-case basis, as required to support the additional features introduced in the port without breaking demo compatibility.[3] This also means that certain new features such as freelook are not planned,[4] and that certain limitations of the original engine, such as the issues when attempting to load sprites, flats, and textures from different archives, are left in place.[5]
