The DLC will release on July 7, 2026, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. The base game, a prequel to DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal, launched in May 2025 and shifted the series' combat to a heavier, more strategic style, positioning the Doom Slayer as a tank. Revelations introduces a new weapon, the Chain Spear, which can stab enemies and function as a grappling hook for dynamic movement. The story takes the Slayer to an ice-covered world where, wounded and betrayed, he gains new powers with help from mysterious allies. The trailer shown at the event previewed new areas and enemies. The DLC is also listed for Xbox on PC and Xbox Cloud.","whyItMatters":"The Chain Spear's grappling-hook function suggests Revelations may reintroduce the vertical mobility that the base game deliberately downplayed in favor of tank-style combat.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe expansion was revealed during the Xbox Games Showcase 2026, which aired at 2:00 AM JST on June 8.

Game Spark lists the DLC for PC via Steam and Battle.net, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, and Xbox Cloud, while 4Gamer notes the base game's departure from the high-speed acrobatics of earlier entries toward a heavy-tank playstyle that includes parrying with the Shield Saw and riding mechs and cyber dragons.
