The critically acclaimed Doom Slayers Collection, featuring four iconic Doom titles, may be making a comeback on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. The collection, which was delisted in 2024, has recently received ESRB ratings for these platforms, hinting at a potential re-release. Notably, the ratings exclude the Nintendo Switch and last-generation consoles.
The Doom franchise, beginning with the groundbreaking 1993 original, significantly impacted the first-person shooter genre. Its innovative 3D graphics, multiplayer capabilities, and mod support established a legacy that continues to this day, spanning video games and even live-action films. While a rumored Secret Level crossover never materialized, the return of the Doom Slayers Collection appears increasingly likely.
Originally launched in 2019 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC, the Doom Slayers Collection includes remastered versions of Doom, Doom II, Doom III, and the 2016 reboot. The ESRB "M" rating, specifically mentioning PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, strongly suggests a current-gen focus for the collection's return. The recent ESRB rating for Doom 64 on these same platforms further supports this, given that Doom 64 was included with physical copies of the Slayers Collection.
Games Included in the Doom Slayers Collection:
This potential re-release aligns with past practices by Bethesda, the publisher, who previously delisted Doom and Doom II before re-releasing them as a combined package on current-gen consoles. Similarly, id Software's history of porting its titles to newer platforms, as seen with Quake II, suggests this is a logical step.
Beyond the Doom Slayers Collection, fans have another reason to celebrate: Doom: The Dark Ages, a highly anticipated prequel set in a medieval setting, is slated for release on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC in 2025, promising a unique twist on the established sci-fi narrative.
