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 PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles. Following its delisting in 2024, recent ESRB ratings suggest a potential re-release on current-gen platforms, excluding last-gen consoles and the Nintendo Switch.

The collection, initially launched in 2019, includes remastered versions of Doom, Doom II, Doom III, and the 2016 Doom reboot. This resurgence wouldn't be unexpected, given Bethesda's history of re-releasing titles and id Software's pattern of porting games to newer consoles, as seen with Quake II. The recent ESRB rating for Doom 64 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S further fuels speculation, considering its inclusion as a download code with the physical version of the Slayers Collection. This suggests a coordinated effort to bring the complete package back to digital storefronts.

The original Doom, released in 1993, significantly impacted the first-person shooter genre, pioneering features like 3D graphics and multiplayer capabilities. Its enduring legacy and influence make this potential return even more significant.

Games Included in the Doom Slayers Collection:

• Doom
• Doom II
• Doom III
• Doom (2016)

Beyond the potential return of the Slayers Collection, fans can anticipate the release of Doom: The Dark Ages, a highly anticipated prequel set in a medieval setting, scheduled for release on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC in 2025. This promises a fresh perspective within the established sci-fi franchise.
