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 III, and the 2016 Doom reboot, was delisted in 2024.

Recent ESRB ratings suggest a resurgence, specifically targeting PS5 and Xbox Series X/S platforms. Notably, the ratings omit Switch and last-generation consoles, indicating a potential current-gen-only release. The recent ESRB rating for Doom 64 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S further strengthens this speculation, given that Doom 64 was included with physical copies of the Doom Slayers Collection. This pattern mirrors past releases, such as the combined Doom + Doom II release for current-gen consoles following the original games' delisting. This aligns with Bethesda's history of re-releasing titles and id Software's practice of porting its catalog to newer consoles, as seen with Quake II.

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 anticipate the release of Doom: The Dark Ages, a highly anticipated prequel slated for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC in 2025, promising a unique medieval twist on the franchise. The legacy of 1993's Doom, a pioneering title in the FPS genre, continues to resonate, making this potential re-release and the upcoming prequel highly anticipated events for fans.
