Incident to be mentioned in the article

I figured this should at least have a passing mention. Sorry I can't do it myself right now. --uKER (talk) 15:24, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect demon origins

Under the "Gameplay" section, the article states: "Many enemies also return from the original game, such as the Revenant, Pinky, Mancubus, and Cyberdemon, with many also redesigned." This is innaccurate, as the Revenant and Mancubus are from Doom II, not the original game. Does this need to be corrected, or is it too insignificant to change?
