Doom: The Dark Ages is getting a story DLC expansion coming this summer

A story DLC expansion has been announced for Doom: The Dark Ages.

Just as its predecessor Doom Eternal received a post-launch campaign called The Ancient Gods, so too is Doom: The Dark Ages getting more story content.

The DLC, which will be titled Doom: The Dark Ages – Revelations, will be released on July 7.

“Wounded and betrayed, the Slayer is thrust into a merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths and forging new strength with the help of a mysterious ally,” the expansion’s description reads.

“He must ascend from the prison of his mind and fight an abomination of the gods to set his followers on the path to freedom.

“Featuring new levels with deeper puzzles, new demons and new mysteries, Revelations also adds new dimensions to combat with the deadly Chain Spear, offering returning Slayers a uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility. ”

Alongside the new update, Doom: The Dark Ages will also get a free update called Ripatorium 3.0 update.

“This update adds deeper customization, improved pass code generation, and personal preset options to the game’s customizable arena challenge mode,” Xbox says.

Doom: The Dark Ages was released in May 2025 and was critically well-received, with a Metacritic score of 85.

Publisher Bethesda said it was developer id Software’s “biggest launch ever”, reaching 3 million players in its first six days (seven times faster then Doom Eternal did).

VGC’s Doom: The Dark Ages review called it “brutal, challenging and laugh-out-loud funny”, saying the game had put the series back on track.

“Doom: The Dark Ages gets so much right, that its main flaws come when the game takes you away from its main, excellent combat loop,” we said. “While not every new addition works, the game’s new open zones are a treat, and the Doomslayer’s arsenal is still incredibly fun to run around with.”
