Shown on social media, the official DOOM Twitter account congratulated the team behind Final Fantasy VII Remake, capping off the message with a slick piece of artwork. The image features the DOOM Slayer standing in a hellish realm with his trusty blade The Crucible draped over his back. This post purposefully makes reference to the iconic box art from the original FFVII, which featured a similar scene of Cloud overlooking a looming Midgar. A modern version of the artwork notably returned as the cover for the Remake.
