DOOM: The Dark Ages Revelations DLC Launches July 8 With Chain Spear and Endgame Content
id Software will release the campaign expansion 'DOOM: The Dark Ages - Revelations' on July 8 Japan time (July 7 local time). The DLC introduces the Chain Spear, a new weapon that functions as both a melee tool and a movement device with dash and grapple hook abilities. The expansion is structured in two layers: a base campaign of roughly 60 percent of the total playtime, followed by endgame content that makes up the remaining 40 percent. The base campaign includes four stages - Upper Hell, Ice Hell, Bone Hell, and Oceas - plus a hub called Sentinel. After clearing the final boss, players obtain a Master Key that unlocks endgame activities such as new routes through existing levels, high-difficulty challenge arenas called Crater Suit Encounters, a score-based Slayer Trial mode, playable classic DOOM levels, and endgame-specific upgrades. Clearing all endgame content allows access to an Uber Boss and four ultra-high-difficulty Master Arenas. The total playtime is estimated at 10 to 12 hours. Game director Hugo Martin said the DLC is 'the best DOOM experience we've ever made' and 'the culmination of the past 30 years.'
