URE2020: Unexpected Retro Experience is an episode replacement for the Ultimate Doom by Zylinderkatze. The WAD was first released on December 30, 2020,[1] and after some tuning it was uploaded to the /idgames archive on April 15, 2021. Originally planned as a full four episodes replacement, in its current state this WAD contains only a re-imagined version of the first Doom episode - Knee-Deep in the Dead. It was named as one of the runners-up at the 2021 Cacowards. The second episode is in active development as of April 2023.

Supplied with the main WAD are also two additional WADs with custom music: URE2020A.WAD contains music by Amaury Laurent Bernier (all tracks are untitled) and URE2020L.WAD contains music by Nathan Maxx (Lippeth). Names of the tracks by Lippeth are listed second.
