    The music for the game was created with the help of the Soviet analog synthesizer Polivoks.



    The fact that the new DOOM has a huge number of Easter eggs and surprises is not a secret. Part of the secrets was discovered by gamers almost immediately after the game, and some - just starting to open. Developers are good at hiding their secrets, and to find something you need to know where to look. This complicates the task of opening new easter eggs.
