Final Doom is a first-person shooter video game developed by TeamTNT, and Dario and Milo Casali, and was released by id Software and distributed by GT Interactive in 1996. It was released for MS-DOS and Macintosh computers, as well as for the PlayStation, although the latter featured a selection of levels from the game and from Master Levels for Doom II.

The third entry in the Doom franchise, Final Doom consists of two 32-level episodes (or megawads), TNT: Evilution and The Plutonia Experiment. Both megawads were created by members of the hobbyist group TeamTNT, with id Software purchasing the rights to TNT: Evilution just before its planned free release[3] and The Plutonia Experiment being made specifically at the request of id Software by Dario and Milo Casali.[4]

The story in both episodes take place after the events of Doom II.[5] TNT: Evilution features a mostly new soundtrack interspersed with some tracks from Doom II, while the soundtrack for The Plutonia Experiment entirely consists of tracks from Doom and Doom II.

During August 2022, Final Doom was delisted from the Steam store, in an effort from id Software to consolidate their games' multiple releases and editions. Therefore, Final Doom was bundled into Doom II as a single listing, along with Master Levels for Doom II and No Rest for the Living expansion pack.[6]
