Overview
- The Revelations expansion went live July 7–8 through DOOM: The Dark Ages update 1.013, which also installs the Ripatorium 3.0 arena update and is available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
- Revelations adds the multi‑function Chain Spear, new levels, demons and a metroidvania‑style hub that expands progression and endgame challenges.
- Players who own the DLC gain three additional Ripatorium maps and fully upgraded new weapons after finishing the story, and the expansion is sold standalone for $19.99 or as part of a $34.99 Premium upgrade but requires ownership of the base game.
- After launch, players reported a Chain Spear tutorial that prompts a non‑existent '??' button, stuttering during play and a PS5 storefront splash‑page purchase glitch that forces buying via the add‑on tab; a hotfix is expected.
- Reports of large‑scale id Software staffing changes surfaced around July 6 but remain unverified, a development that could affect the studio’s near‑term capacity to support the game and its franchises.
