Doom Slayers Collection Rumored for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S Return
The Doom Slayers Collection, a compilation featuring four iconic Doom games, may be making a comeback on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. The collection, which was delisted in 2024, has reportedly received new ESRB ratings for these platforms. This suggests a re-release is imminent, although a Switch release, or a return to last-gen consoles, remains unconfirmed.
The 1993 original Doom revolutionized the first-person shooter genre, introducing groundbreaking features like 3D graphics and multiplayer capabilities. Its impact on gaming is undeniable, contributing to a vast franchise encompassing video games and films. The potential return of the Doom Slayers Collection, originally released in 2019, follows a pattern of Bethesda re-releasing classic titles on current-gen consoles. This is consistent with their previous handling of Doom and Doom 2, which were delisted before being re-released as a combined package. The recent ESRB rating for Doom 64 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S further strengthens this speculation, given its inclusion as a download code with the physical Doom Slayers Collection.
Games Included in the Doom Slayers Collection:
- Doom
- Doom 2
- Doom 3
- Doom (2016)
This potential resurgence aligns with id Software's history of porting its games to newer consoles, as seen with Quake 2.
Beyond the possible return of the Doom Slayers Collection, fans can anticipate Doom: The Dark Ages, a highly anticipated prequel set for release on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC in 2025. This medieval-themed entry promises a fresh perspective on the long-running sci-fi franchise.
