According to Bethesda Softworks and id Software, DOOM Revelations: The Dark Ages - a new campaign unveiled today and set for a July 7, 2026 release - is only the first major DLC to come with the game. The new pack is a continuation of the Slayer's story in Hell after the addition of a completely new campaign to the game. Players will love this engaging content, which is the first major release following DOOM: The Dark Ages.

The DOOM Slayer finds himself at a beak in Revelations, a brutal and desolate land, after taking a nearly fatal hit. He was wounded and left behind, the twisted monsters from the darkest and deepest corners of reality are his only companions. Instead of friends, the silence is what follows him - the only breaks are the roar of creatures never seen before. Frozen infernos at large under the blood-red sky, while the dying dimensions are so far from the remnants of order. These places, the ruins of the old world, are so twisted as to drag myth into its decay. Once familiar conflicts now resound with something older, more ravenous. Time is not a healer in this place - it is a source of evil.
