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 games, may be making a comeback on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles. The collection, which was delisted in 2024, has recently received an ESRB rating for these platforms, hinting at a potential re-release. This suggests that the collection, featuring Doom, Doom II, Doom III, and the 2016 Doom reboot, could soon be available digitally on current-gen consoles. Notably, the ESRB rating excludes last-gen consoles and the Nintendo Switch.

The original Doom (1993) holds a significant place in gaming history, pioneering 3D graphics, multiplayer, and mod support within the first-person shooter genre. Its success launched a massive franchise encompassing games and films. The return of the Doom Slayers Collection follows a pattern established by publisher Bethesda, who previously delisted individual Doom titles before re-releasing them in bundled packages. This aligns with id Software's history of porting its catalog to newer consoles, as seen with Quake II. The recent ESRB rating for Doom 64 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S further strengthens the likelihood of the Doom Slayers Collection return, given that Doom 64 was included in the physical version of the collection.

Games Included in the Doom Slayers Collection:

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

Beyond the potential return of the Doom Slayers Collection, fans can also look forward to Doom: The Dark Ages, a highly anticipated prequel set for release on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC in 2025, promising a unique medieval twist to the franchise.
