Updated ESRB Ratings Hint at Imminent Doom 64 Release for PS5 and Xbox Series X
Recent updates to the ESRB ratings suggest a potential upcoming release of Doom 64 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles. While neither Bethesda nor id Software have made an official announcement, the updated ESRB listing strongly indicates a near-term launch.
The original Doom 64, a Nintendo 64 exclusive, received a 2020 remaster for PS4 and Xbox One, featuring graphical enhancements and a new level. This enhanced version also launched on Steam. The new ESRB ratings, however, list Doom 64 for the current-gen consoles, suggesting a port of the enhanced version.
Historically, ESRB ratings have preceded game releases by only a few months. This, coupled with Bethesda's past practice of quietly releasing older Doom titles, makes a surprise launch highly probable. The absence of a PC rating in this update doesn't rule out a simultaneous PC release, given the 2020 version's Steam availability and the existence of Doom 64 mods for classic Doom titles.
This potential release comes at an opportune time, preceding the anticipated 2025 launch of Doom: The Dark Ages. Releasing updated versions of classic Doom titles could serve as effective pre-release marketing for the next installment in the franchise. Fans should remain vigilant for an official announcement from Bethesda or id Software in the coming weeks.
Key Takeaways:
- ESRB ratings updated for Doom 64 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
- Suggests an imminent release, potentially within the next few months.
- No official announcement from Bethesda or id Software yet.
- Potential for a simultaneous PC release.
- Strategic timing ahead of the anticipated 2025 launch of Doom: The Dark Ages.
