Rumored Return of Doom Slayers Collection for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S
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, includes remasters of the original Doom, Doom II, Doom III, and the 2016 reboot. Recent ESRB ratings strongly suggest its return on these current-gen platforms, notably excluding the Nintendo Switch and last-generation consoles.
The original Doom (1993) revolutionized the first-person shooter genre, introducing groundbreaking features like 3D graphics and multiplayer capabilities. Its enduring legacy makes this potential re-release particularly noteworthy. Interestingly, a recent ESRB rating for Doom 64 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S further fuels speculation, as the physical version of the Slayers Collection originally included a Doom 64 download code. This pattern mirrors previous delistings and re-releases of individual Doom titles, such as Doom and Doom II being re-packaged as Doom + Doom II for current-gen consoles. This aligns with Bethesda's past practices and id Software's history of porting their titles to the latest consoles, as seen with Quake II.
Games Included in Doom Slayers Collection:
- Doom
- Doom II
- Doom III
- Doom (2016)
Beyond the potential return of the Slayers Collection, fans can look forward to 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 take on the established sci-fi franchise.
