DOOM: The Dark Ages – Revelations, a new PS5 expansion for id Software’s shooter, has quickly become one of the best-reviewed releases of 2026 despite launching with relatively little fanfare. Its strong critical reception matters because it places the DLC alongside the year’s top-rated games and highlights continued demand for high-quality post-launch content, even as the studio faces uncertainty following Microsoft’s recent layoffs.

According to the article, Revelations has an OpenCritic score of 90, putting it sixth on the site’s 2026 Hall of Fame list as of 13 July 2026, above Resident Evil Requiem on 89. The DLC launched more than a year after the base game and requires DOOM: The Dark Ages to play; it adds new missions and an endgame mode with rising difficulty and routes inspired by classic DOOM levels. IGN gave it 9/10, praising how it builds on the base game’s action, while the article also notes that id Software was significantly affected by Microsoft layoffs on the day the expansion released, even though reports suggest a new DOOM game remains in early production.
