A stunning Doom II: Ray Traced path tracing mod is now available for download, turning the classic second entry in the series into something unreal.
The path tracing mod, which can be downloaded from here, utilizes GZDoom, adding features like global illumination, ray-traced shadows, voxels, and fluid-based blood simulation. Needless to say, path tracing turns the classic game into something else, vastly enhancing its atmosphere and bringing its experience to new heights. You can check out how path tracing enhances the game before downloading the mod in the video below.
It's really interesting how the Doom II: Ray Traced mod was released only a few days after the base game was made available on modern gaming platforms alongside its predecessor, complete with many new features, such as online cross-platform Deathmatch for up to 16 players, in-game mod browser, new accessibility options, and the Legacy of Rust new episode. Given how beautiful the path tracing makes the game look, it wouldn't be surprising for some players to experience the classic FPS with it rather than going with the newly released edition.
Doom + Doom II are now available on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
