Doom: The Dark Ages takes you back to 1994 with classic levels added to its endgame—but that’s not all

Doom: The Dark Ages – Revelations is the upcoming DLC for id Software’s latest shooter, and its main goal is to offer players a near-infinite amount of endgame content to satisfy their desire to rip and tear through the deep chasms of hell.

And part of that endgame are classic, Doom 2-inspired levels that’ll allow players to traverse time and space and find themselves in the mid-1990s when first-person shooters were just about to get completely revolutionized by id Software and Doom itself. The classic levels are a reward for completing other endgame arenas, as there are six levels total, each complete with a ton of its own brutal content.

The classic levels were only briefly shown during a presentation I attended, with director Hugo Martin saying the entire DLC is a “celebration” of the franchise, with each of the games considered canon by the studio.
