The highly anticipated return of the Doom Slayers Collection is on the horizon! After its 2024 delisting, this compilation of four iconic Doom games – the original Doom, Doom II, Doom III, and the 2016 reboot – is poised for a comeback on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Recent ESRB ratings confirm this exciting news, specifically mentioning PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC as target platforms. The absence of Switch and last-gen consoles from the ESRB listing suggests the collection's return will be exclusive to current-gen systems. Adding further credence to this theory is the recent ESRB rating for Doom 64 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S; the physical Doom Slayers Collection originally included a Doom 64 download code. This pattern of re-releases aligns with Bethesda's previous practices, mirroring the earlier delisting and subsequent re-release of Doom and Doom II as a combined package. This also mirrors id Software's history of porting its titles to the latest consoles, as seen with Quake II.
The Doom Slayers Collection originally launched in 2019 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Its return to current-gen consoles will undoubtedly delight fans.
Beyond the Doom Slayers Collection, Doom: The Dark Ages, a highly anticipated prequel, is slated for release on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC in 2025, promising a unique medieval twist on the beloved sci-fi franchise. This prequel is sure to add another layer of excitement to the already thrilling year for Doom enthusiasts.
