DOOM/DOOM Eternal composer Mick Gordon says he's unlikely to work on another DOOM game again

DOOM and DOOM Eternal were both praised in a number of areas, but the soundtracks for each game might have received the most praise of all. They were put together by composer Mick Gordon, who really knocked it out of the park with his direction for the game's music. Sadly, it seems like Gordon won't be working with the DOOM franchise again in the future.

While we can't say it with 100% accuracy, it seems Gordon is a bit unhappy with how the soundtrack releases for these games have been handled, especially when it comes to DOOM Eternal. The soundtrack release for DOOM Eternal has a lot of mixing issues, and apparently Gordon was asked to work on the mixes for a handful of tracks. The songs that were mixed without his input were handled in a rather slipshod way, with fans noticing major differences between the tracks Gordon personally mixed and the others.

PCGamer talked to Gordon about the mixing issues, to which he responded with the following.

"I take a lot of pride in my work. It’s all I do, it’s all I have and I pour my heart and soul into it."

Gordon also said he's trying to understand what exactly happened with the soundtrack release, and has no further comments at this time.

That said, we do have one more blurb from Gordon. A fan reached out to him on Twitter about the situation, and Gordon responded by saying he doubts he'll work with Bethesda/id again. It would be a real shame to lose Gordon for any future DOOM games, so hopefully these issues can be ironed out over the next few years.
