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

The collection's potential return follows a pattern established by publisher Bethesda of re-releasing classic titles on newer platforms. This is further supported by the recent ESRB rating for Doom 64 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, a title included in the physical version of the Doom Slayers Collection. The original digital release included Doom, Doom II, Doom 3, and the 2016 Doom reboot. This mirrors a previous strategy where Doom and Doom II were delisted before being re-released as a combined package.

The enduring influence of the original 1993 Doom on the first-person shooter genre is undeniable. Its innovative features, including 3D graphics and multiplayer capabilities, cemented its place in gaming history. This legacy contributes to the anticipation surrounding the collection's potential return.

Games Included in the Doom Slayers Collection:

• Doom
• Doom II
• Doom 3
• Doom (2016)

Beyond the potential return of the Doom Slayers Collection, fans can look forward to Doom: The Dark Ages, a highly anticipated prequel set for release on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC in 2025. This new entry promises a unique medieval setting, offering a fresh perspective on the long-running sci-fi franchise.
