Doom Devs Drop Hellfire Expansion While Xbox Drops Entire Team
KEY POINTS
- •id Software released 'Revelations,' an expansion for 'Doom: The Dark Ages,' adding new weapons and levels in July 2026.
- •Despite the celebratory launch, Xbox concurrently announced mass layoffs that overshadowed the Doom expansion rollout.
- •A reviewer noted the familiar Doom gameplay loop quickly re-engaged players even after a year of inactivity.
id Software, the folks who made Doom, decided to celebrate July 2026 by unleashing 'Revelations,' a beefy expansion pack adding spicy new weapons and demon levels to Doom: The Dark Ages. Sadly, amid Xbox's gleeful egging-on of mass layoffs, this launch felt less 'Bring out your dead' and more 'Bring out your stuff and leave.' The reviewer admits ignoring the game for over a year but faded back into that classic Doom 'run, shoot, repeat' groove faster than a demon on rocket fuel. So, here’s to blasting Hell while your job blasts away too.
