Two years ago, an exclusive concept trailer of the cancelled DOOM 4, dating back to 2012, was published online on Crispies' YouTube channel. It's believed that the game was abandoned because it was too similar to Call of Duty.

Now Crispies has collected some more concept art and other materials related to the cancelled Doom 4 and published them in free access.

Here's What We Know

The artwork shows that id Software was aiming for a darker, more horror-tinged game than they got with DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal.

The artwork offers a look at demons, some locations, assets, and many in-game objects.

In addition to the artwork, there is also a video available on Crispies' YouTube channel that doesn't refer to DOOM directly, but includes some assets from Doom 4 and Rage, another id Software game that came out in 2011.
