Doom The Dark Ages' new Revelations DLC is "the culmination of 35 years of Doom" and movement is back

Overview

  • Revelations will launch as paid DLC on Tuesday, July 7, for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC and requires the base game with the expansion priced at about $19.99.
  • The expansion replaces the Shield Saw with a new Chain Spear that can stab, be thrown, slam, act as a grappling hook, provide a dash and enable an orbit attack, and it levels up through its own skill trees.
  • Revelations is built from six new maps plus a large Metroidvania‑style hub and is expected to take roughly 10 to 12 hours to complete with a roughly 60/40 split between base campaign and endgame content.
  • Around 40 percent of the DLC is an escalating endgame that has players revisiting levels for new challenges, forging an Astral Key to face an Uber Boss, unlocking Master Arenas, and receiving expanded Ripatorium arenas and enemies at Master difficulty.
  • id Software presents Revelations as a bridge between The Dark Ages' heavier, grounded combat and Doom Eternal's mobility by restoring movement tech with the spear, a shift that will demand players learn new traversal and combat timing and could extend long‑term engagement with scoreable Slayer Trials and repeatable high‑difficulty arenas.
