Doom Slayers Collection Rumored to Return to 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 remasters of Doom, Doom II, Doom III, and the 2016 Doom reboot, was delisted in 2024.

Recent ESRB ratings suggest a resurgence of the collection on current-gen platforms. The "M" rating specifically lists PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, notably omitting Switch and last-generation consoles. This aligns with the recent ESRB rating for Doom 64 on the same platforms, further fueling speculation. The physical release of the Doom Slayers Collection originally included a Doom 64 download code, strengthening the connection.

The 1993 original Doom significantly impacted the first-person shooter genre, pioneering 3D graphics, multiplayer, and mod support. Its enduring legacy extends beyond gaming, encompassing film adaptations. This historical significance adds to the anticipation surrounding the collection's potential return. Interestingly, Doom and Doom II previously underwent a similar delisting and re-release as a combined package, Doom + Doom II, on current-gen consoles. This pattern of re-releases from Bethesda, the publisher, and id Software's history of porting titles to newer consoles (as seen with Quake II) further supports the likelihood of the collection's return.

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 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 new title promises a unique medieval setting within the established sci-fi universe.
