Rumored Return of Doom Slayers Collection for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S
The Doom Slayers Collection, a compilation of four classic and modern Doom games, may be making a comeback on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles. The collection, which includes Doom, Doom II, Doom 3, and the 2016 Doom reboot, was delisted from digital storefronts in 2024. However, recent ESRB ratings suggest a re-release is imminent, specifically for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, excluding last-gen consoles and the Nintendo Switch.
The original Doom, released in 1993, revolutionized the first-person shooter genre with its groundbreaking 3D graphics, multiplayer capabilities, and mod support. Its enduring legacy continues to influence gaming today, making a potential return of this collection a significant event. The ESRB ratings also include a rating for Doom 64, further fueling speculation, as the physical version of the Doom Slayers Collection included a Doom 64 download code.
This potential re-release follows a pattern established by Bethesda, the publisher, of re-releasing classic titles on current-gen platforms. A similar pattern was seen with the re-release of Doom and Doom II as a combined package, Doom + Doom II, for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. This aligns with id Software's history of porting its games to newer consoles, as demonstrated by the recent Quake II port.
Games Included in the Doom Slayers Collection:
- Doom
- Doom II
- Doom III
- Doom (2016)
Beyond the potential return of the Doom Slayers Collection, fans can also anticipate the release of Doom: The Dark Ages, a highly anticipated prequel set in a medieval setting, slated for release on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC in 2025. This prequel promises a unique twist on the established sci-fi franchise.
