Per la serie "a volte ritornano...", è uscita la nuova versione del mod Doom Chronicles, una nota modifica per Doom III il cui sviluppo è iniziato anni fa, culminato con il rilascio di una prima versione, ma del quale ultimamente si erano perse le tracce. Si tratta di un mod multiplayer che rivitalizza l'esperienza multigiocatore del gioco grazie ad un mix di elementi di gameplay classici e innovativi; viene anche dedicato spazio ai miglioramenti tecnici, con un supporto completo ai bots per poterci anche giocare in locale. Manca forse solo qualcosina nelle possibilità di personalizzazione, ma lo staff del progetto ha deliberatamente voluto concentrarsi sulla creazione di un gameplay solido piuttosto che sulla versatilità.

Questo è quanto ci dice il sito doom3.filefront.com:
