It has certainly been a while since II was announced, and the merger of and Zenimax probably didn't help but it has finally received a release date.

Doom II: Hell on Earth will release on Live on 26th of May, which is this week.

The port, handled by Nerve who did sterling work on the original Doom's port, will feature an added four player split-screen mode as well as the traditional modes.

The price is as yet unknown but, given that Doom launched at 800 Points it would be a safe bet that Doom II will cost the same.

Thanks IncGamers.
