Fractured Worlds is a nine-level mapset designed for Boom-compatible source ports, released by Nirvana in October 2021, and a winner in the 2021 Cacowards. In a similar manner to Magnolia (whose author, Zachary Stephens (Ribbiks), assisted in its development), Fractured Worlds alters the palette giving the WAD a teal appearance, and it also uses Magnolia's low-health cyberdemon.

According to Nirvana, the purpose of the WAD was to "revolve around mixing up gameplay, with most maps having varying amounts of incidental combat, set-piece encounters, platforming, and exploration."
