trending_up Progression & Upgrades | |
Skills & Progression | |
Likely to retain core Doom mechanics: weapon mods, suit upgrades (Praetor Suit or its precursor), and possibly Runes. New mechanics tied to the Atlan shield (defensive, offensive, traversal) and potentially the Flail are expected. Progression may involve unlocking new abilities or enhancements for these new tools. Resource management for upgrades will likely return. |
N/A |
public World & Exploration | |
World & Level Design | |
Unknown. Expected to feature large, interconnected levels or hub areas set in war-torn kingdoms, hellish landscapes, and potentially other dimensions. The scale seems grander than previous entries, with hints of large-scale battles. |
Features a detailed and faithful recreation of central London, divided into several iconic boroughs like City of Westminster, Camden, Islington & Hackney, Lambeth, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, and City of London. Each borough has its distinct architecture, landmarks (e.g., Buckingham Palace, Tower of London, Piccadilly Circus), and atmosphere. The map is dense with activities, collectibles, and opportunities for emergent gameplay. |

Multiplayer Details | |
Unconfirmed if traditional multiplayer (Deathmatch, etc.) or a mode like Doom Eternal's Battlemode will feature. Given the focus on single-player in announcements, multiplayer details are TBD. (Speculative) |
N/A |
extension Editions & DLC | |
Available Editions | |
Standard Edition confirmed. Deluxe and/or Collector's Editions are highly probable, likely including cosmetic items, early unlocks, or a potential Season Pass/DLC access. (Speculative) |
Available in Standard, Gold, Ultimate, and Collector's Editions. Gold Edition included the Season Pass (Bloodline story expansion, 4 unique heroes including Aiden Pearce and Wrench, extra DedSec missions, car skin). Ultimate Edition included Gold content plus the Ultimate Pack (3 additional characters, masks, and 4 weeks VIP status for in-game currency boost). Collector's Edition included physical items like a DedSec Coronet Mask replica, SteelBook, posters, and all Ultimate Edition digital content. |
Post-Launch Content / DLC | |
Possible, following the pattern of Doom Eternal which received story expansions. Specifics TBD. (Speculative) |
Major post-launch content included the 'Bloodline' story expansion (starring Aiden Pearce from Watch Dogs 1 and Wrench from Watch Dogs 2), new playable hero characters (Mina Sidhu with mind control, Darcy Clarkson from Assassin's Creed), new online modes (Tactical Ops, Spiderbot Arena, Invasion PvP), free roam activities for online, and various cosmetic packs and operative unlocks. Ongoing support with seasonal events and smaller updates. |

Frequently Asked Questions | |
|
|
build Technical Details | |
Graphics & Visual Fidelity | |
Powered by the latest id Tech engine, visuals will aim for cutting-edge fidelity, featuring detailed environments blending medieval architecture with demonic corruption, visceral gore, and spectacular particle effects. Ray tracing and other advanced rendering techniques are expected. |
Powered by an updated version of the Disrupt engine, the game offers a detailed and vibrant recreation of London. It features impressive reflections (especially with ray tracing), realistic weather effects, dense crowds and traffic, and detailed character models. Ray-traced reflections are a key visual feature on supported hardware, significantly enhancing the look of London's glass and rain-slicked streets. |
Audio & Soundtrack | |
Expected to feature an intense, heavy metal soundtrack driving the action, possibly by a new composer or a collaboration maintaining the franchise's signature style. Immersive sound design for demonic roars, weapon impacts, and environmental ambience is a staple and anticipated. |
Original score composed by Stephen Barton and additional music by various artists, blending electronic, grime, and orchestral elements to reflect near-future London's atmosphere. Features in-game radio stations with a diverse selection of licensed tracks across multiple genres. Sound design emphasizes a technologically advanced city with drone hums, AR sounds, and distinct weapon/hacking effects. |
User Interface (UI/UX) | |
Expected to be fast-paced, clear, and informative, consistent with modern Doom games, possibly with thematic medieval/dark fantasy visual elements. HUD will likely display health, armor, ammo, and equipped gear. |
Features a futuristic, AR-overlay style HUD displaying a mini-map, objective markers, hackable objects, and operative-specific abilities. The phone interface is used for mission selection, team management, map, and accessing DedSec tech. The 'Deep Profiler' allows players to scan any NPC to learn their schedule, connections, and potential recruitment viability. |
Accessibility Options | |
Expected to include a comprehensive suite of modern accessibility options, building on those offered in Doom Eternal (e.g., customizable controls, subtitle options, colorblind modes, UI scaling, gameplay modifiers). |
Offers a comprehensive suite of accessibility options, including extensive control remapping, aim assist customization, subtitle options (size, background, speaker names, captions for important sounds), colorblind modes, options to change hold QTEs to toggles, adjustable text size, HUD scaling, and audio/visual cues for various gameplay elements. |
