It was only a matter of time. With Hytale’s early access release just around the corner, a determined modder has already brought a blocky version of classic Doom into the mix. Seeing the iconic shooter running inside the voxel-based world of Hytale feels both oddly fitting and impressively ambitious.
Doom has a long history of showing up in the most unexpected places, and this latest iteration adds to that bizarre legacy. From running as a human test CAPTCHA to being playable on everything from lawnmowers and electric toothbrushes to even tractors and pregnancy tests, Doom’s adaptability has become a sort of internet rite of passage for modders and hardware hackers alike. The fact that it’s now cruising through a pre-release build of Hytale speaks volumes about both the creativity of the community and the mod-friendly nature of the game.
While the experience is far from a polished port, it’s a fascinating glimpse into what creative minds will be doing with Hytale once it’s fully live. It’s also a reminder of Doom’s unique status as the video game equivalent of a wild card—always showing up where you least expect it, and stealing the show when it does.
