Updated ESRB Ratings Hint at Imminent Doom 64 Release for PS5 and Xbox Series X
Rumors suggest a new port of the classic 1997 first-person shooter, Doom 64, is on the horizon for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles. This follows an updated ESRB rating listing the game for these platforms.
The 2020 release of Doom 64 for PS4 and Xbox One, featuring enhanced graphics and a new level, has seemingly paved the way for this next-generation iteration. While neither Bethesda nor id Software have made an official announcement, the updated ESRB rating strongly suggests an imminent release. Historically, ESRB ratings precede game launches by only a few months, indicating a potential launch date in the near future.
This pattern mirrors past instances where ESRB listings leaked upcoming releases before official announcements, such as the 2023 re-release of Felix the Cat. The absence of a PC listing in this ESRB update is notable, however, the 2020 version included a Steam release, and PC players can already experience a Doom 64-like experience through modding existing Doom titles.
Beyond this potential Doom 64 resurgence, fans can anticipate the arrival of Doom: The Dark Ages, rumored for a 2025 release, potentially with an official announcement in January. Re-releasing classic titles like Doom 64 serves as effective pre-release marketing for upcoming installments in the franchise.
