Currently, the Enhanced Versions page on Steam is simply the Doom and Doom 2 page, which still lists the April 30, 1995 release date. However, if you read it carefully, you’ll notice that the page has been, um… improved.

BOOM source compatibility allows hundreds of community-created mods from the last 25 years to be published in-game

Accessibility features like modern font for improved readability, high contrast mode, text-to-speech, multi-person chat with speech-to-text, and more

Translated into 8 new languages: Mexican Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese
