DOOM: The Dark Ages DLC Described as Sequel-Sized With Metroidvania Structure

Details arrived on Slayers Club Live with no release window yet.

Overview

  • Director Hugo Martin called the campaign expansion "freaking huge" and "basically like a sequel."
  • The add-on uses a hub-based, Metroidvania-style loop with backtracking and tools that unlock additional endgame content.
  • Quick swap will be included, but players must first earn the ability to use it.
  • Martin said the DLC plays "nothing like" the main campaign and emphasizes a "feel it, don't watch it" approach to environmental storytelling.
  • The expansion is included with the Premium Edition or available via the Digital Premium Upgrade, with further details expected in the coming months.
