'''No Rest for the Living''' is the title of the new [[Doom II]] "episode" (i.e., [[IWAD]] or [[megawad]]) developed by [[Wikipedia:Nerve Software|Nerve Software]] for the upcoming release of Doom II on the [[Xbox 360|XBLA]]. 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.
