Interception is a vanilla-compatible 32-level megawad for Doom II released in 2013. The project started as two maps by Matthew D. (Matt534Dog) intended to be submitted to TNT 2: Devilution, though this submission never happened. Work began on creating a megawad following the rejection of maps by Matt534Dog submitted to Doom the Way id Did (which later became E4M7 and E6M4 of Doom the Way id Did: The Lost Episodes). He was soon joined by numerous mappers, including Callum Guy Oliver (phobosdeimos1), who passed away before the WAD was released. Interception also features a completely new soundtrack, composed by XenoNemisis and Stuart Rynn (stewboy).
Interception was uploaded to the idgames archive on January 16, 2013. It was named as a runner up at the 20th Annual Cacowards. In 2020 and 2021 several releases were made to fix map bugs, replace the three demos, and return MAP15 to its original form. In February 2024 version 1.7 made more map and soundtrack fixes, replaced the third demo, and updated over a dozen par times.
A sequel, titled Interception II, was started and, after a long pause in development, eventually released in August 2020.
