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 ESRB ratings for these platforms, hinting at a potential re-release. The ESRB listings notably omit Switch and last-gen consoles, suggesting the return will be limited to current-gen systems.
The 1993 original Doom revolutionized the first-person shooter genre, introducing groundbreaking features like 3D graphics and multiplayer capabilities. Its enduring legacy continues to influence gaming today. The collection's potential return follows a pattern established by publisher Bethesda, who previously delisted individual Doom titles before re-releasing them in updated packages. This strategy aligns with id Software's history of bringing their classic titles to modern platforms, as seen with the recent Quake 2 port.
The Doom Slayers Collection includes:
- Doom
- Doom 2
- Doom 3
- Doom (2016)
Interestingly, the ESRB also recently rated Doom 64 for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. This further strengthens the speculation surrounding the collection's return, as the physical version of the Doom Slayers Collection originally included a Doom 64 download code.
Beyond the potential Doom Slayers Collection revival, 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 new installment promises a unique medieval twist on the established sci-fi franchise.
