Delisted FPS Games Might be Returning with PS5 and Xbox Series Ports

Doom Slayers Collection Rumored for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S Return

The Doom Slayers Collection, a compilation of four classic and modern Doom titles, may be making a comeback on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles. The collection, which was delisted in 2024, has received new ESRB ratings suggesting a re-release on current-gen platforms. The ratings notably exclude the Nintendo Switch and last-generation consoles.

The collection includes remastered versions of Doom, Doom II, Doom III, and the 2016 Doom reboot. This resurgence follows a pattern established by publisher Bethesda of re-releasing classic titles on newer platforms, as seen with the recent Doom and Doom II re-release as a combined package. The inclusion of Doom 64 in recent ESRB ratings further strengthens this speculation, given its inclusion as a download code with physical copies of the Doom Slayers Collection.

The original Doom, released in 1993, significantly impacted the first-person shooter genre with its groundbreaking 3D graphics, multiplayer capabilities, and mod support. Its enduring legacy extends beyond gaming, encompassing films and other media. The Doom Slayers Collection's potential return aligns with id Software's history of porting its games to current-gen consoles, as evidenced by the recent Quake II port.

Beyond the potential return of the Doom Slayers Collection, fans eagerly anticipate the release of Doom: The Dark Ages, a prequel set for release on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC in 2025. This new installment promises a unique medieval twist on the established sci-fi franchise.

Games Included in the Doom Slayers Collection:

• Doom
• Doom II
• Doom III
• Doom (2016)
