Keep in mind that the following information may contain spoilers.

  • Something about an Aqua and a Hell Marine (NPCs? Armors? Upgrades?)
  • Two new zombies, one “called” Kent and a scientist
  • The name “Zion” is present in almost every code line, maybe was the original name for the project or it’s related to the cancelled DOOM game (AKA Call of Doom).
  • A new demon called “The Prowler”
