No Rest for the Living

No Rest for the Living is the title of the new Doom II "episode" (i.e., IWAD or megawad) developed by Nerve Software for the upcoming release of Doom II on the XBLA.

Episode or campaign?
The episode consists of nine levels in all. As Doom II did not have episodes per se calling No Rest for the Living an episode is technically a misnomer. The new maps are a separate selectable campaign at the inception of the game, in a fashion similar to Doom's episode selction. Selecting "Hell on Earth" will propel the player into the classic 32 map Doom II campaign, whereas selecting "No Rest for the Living" will start the new 9 map addition.

Previews
From the few previews given to Xbox gaming magazines, No Rest for the Living will be "hardcore" and designed for cooperative play in challenging levels. As of writing two level names are known; "The Earth Base" and "The Pain Labs".

On February 10, 2010, msxbox-world.com released gameplay footage of the port, including a video of the new episode. The footage has since been removed.

However, gameplay video from the Hell on Earth campaign is available on msxbox world's YouTube channel. The footage does not include the new episode, but it does show the episode selection menu.
