Id Software\u2019s modern DOOM Trilogy is an interesting series, with each entry having its own unique and distinct style of gameplay. With the upcoming Revelations DLC<\/a> for The Dark Ages, the team are once again switching up the formula \u2013 though this time throwing some DOOM Eternal DNA into the pot.\n<\/p>\n

Ahead of the DLC\u2019s official launch on the 7th of July<\/a>, previews for DOOM The Dark Ages \u2013 Revelations have now gone live, giving us a ton of new details on what to expect from this exciting expansion; including info from Xbox directly<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

All of the new announcements can be found HERE<\/a>, but some of the most notable details include:\n<\/p>\n

The DLC will be 10-12 hours in length
\nBigger than both Eternal DLCs combined<\/a>
\nHas a higher base difficulty than the main campaign
\nLevels feature a metroidvania-lite style of design
\nMajor update coming to the Ripatorium arena

\"The<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

As mentioned, each of the 3 most recent DOOMs have had their own takes on FPS design, with The Dark Ages making its shield and blocking a core mechanic. For Revelations however, the new Chain Spear will instead offer more DOOM Eternal-esque gameplay opportunities, including:\n<\/p>\n

A slam inspired by Eternal\u2019s Hammer weapon
\nThe titular \u2018chain\u2019 functioning like a refined version of Eternal\u2019s Meat Hook<\/p>\n

Of course, the Chain Spear includes tons of other functionalities, including Ocarina of Time-like Z-targeting. All-in-all, Revelations looks to be another excellent entry into the DOOM series, and one which fans of Eternal in particular will enjoy. Even if the base DOOM: The Dark Ages did not appeal to you, this upcoming DLC could be worth looking into.\n<\/p>\n
