Overview
- The paid DLC Revelations launched last week and has been widely praised for faster, more mobile combat that reintroduces dash and adds the Chain Spear and Ripatorium 3.0 challenge content.
- Review aggregators and outlets place the expansion among 2026’s best, with OpenCritic around 90, IGN at 9/10, and strong player sentiment on Steam above roughly 86% positive.
- Revelations is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC but requires ownership of the base game DOOM: The Dark Ages to play.
- On release players reported a Chain Spear control-binding bug that developers acknowledged and said they would fix in a hotfix, with community workarounds circulating in the meantime.
- Microsoft’s recent Xbox Game Studios cuts substantially reduced id Software’s staff, raising concrete concerns about the studio’s ability to deliver future patches and long-term projects despite unconfirmed reports that a new DOOM is in early production.
