Hell freezes over — literally. DOOM: The Dark Ages — Revelations, the first major expansion for id Software’s critically acclaimed 2025 shooter, launches on 7 July 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The DLC packs roughly 10 to 12 hours of new campaign content, a brand-new weapon that reshapes how combat flows, and a frozen layer of Hell unlike anything in the base game.
A Betrayal That Sends the Slayer Into Purgatory
Revelations kicks off in the aftermath of a betrayal, thrusting the Doom Slayer into a purgatory of his own making — a frozen, hellish realm carved into six distinct levels: Proving Grounds, Purgatory (the hub), Hell’s Core, Chasm of Xal’Goroth, Osseus, and Uprising. The narrative fills timeline gaps between the classic Doom games and the 2016 reboot, exploring fragments of the Slayer’s past on Earth through playable story segments. The composition is roughly 60% new campaign and 40% endgame — Master Arenas and secrets that unlock only after finishing the story.
The Chain Spear — More Than Just a New Weapon
The centrepiece of Revelations is the Chain Spear, and calling it a weapon undersells it. id Software describes it as an entirely new combat system. It slots in where the Shield Saw used to be and brings a skill tree of its own — Stab, Slash, Slam, Throw, and Orbit — plus grappling hook mechanics that open up mobility options the base game never had. Mastering the Chain Spear is the Revelations expansion’s core loop: the weapon grows more powerful as players unlock its abilities throughout the campaign, rewarding thorough exploration rather than beelining through missions.
Classic Demons Return, Plus New Hellspawn
Fans who’ve been waiting to see the Archvile and Pain Elemental in the Dark Ages engine finally get their wish — both classic demons are back in Revelations, rebuilt with modern materials and effects. Joining them are new elite variants designed specifically for the expansion’s environments, including enemies built around the Chain Spear’s counter-and-punish mechanics. The free Ripatorium 3.0 update, rolling out to all players on 7 July regardless of whether they own the DLC, adds deeper character customisation, preset sharing, and a reworked encounter-creation suite — so even if you skip Revelations, there’s something new waiting for you.
