Updated ESRB ratings hint at a potential PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S release of Doom 64. While Bethesda and id Software remain officially silent, this rating update strongly suggests an imminent release.
The 1997 Nintendo 64 classic, Doom 64, received a 2020 remaster for PS4 and Xbox One, boasting enhanced visuals and a new level. Now, it seems this enhanced version is poised for a next-generation upgrade.
The ESRB's updated listing for Doom 64, now including PS5 and Xbox Series X/S platforms, is a significant indicator of an upcoming release. Historically, the ESRB only rates games nearing launch, ensuring content accuracy. Past instances, such as the 2023 Felix the Cat re-release, prove the ESRB's ratings can precede official announcements.
A Quick Turnaround Expected
Given the ESRB's typical timeframe—a few months before launch—fans may not have long to wait. While the updated rating omits PC, the 2020 version included a Steam release, and dedicated modding communities already offer Doom 64 experiences on PC. Bethesda's history of surprise releases further fuels speculation of a stealth launch for Doom 64.
Looking Ahead to 2025: Doom: The Dark Ages
Beyond Doom 64, the franchise's future looks bright. Doom: The Dark Ages is rumored for a 2025 release, with a potential January announcement. Re-releasing classic titles like Doom 64 provides an excellent bridge to this highly anticipated new installment.
