DOOM: The Dark Ages Revelations Out Now With Chain Spear
Bethesda released DOOM: The Dark Ages — Revelations on July 7, 2026, alongside free Update 4 and Ripatorium 3.0 for base-game owners.
News summary
DOOM: The Dark Ages — Revelations launched on July 7, 2026. The paid expansion adds six campaign levels, the Chain Spear, new demons, deeper puzzles and endgame Master Arenas. Free Update 4 shipped the same day and includes Ripatorium 3.0. Bethesda lists Revelations at $19.99 USD standalone, included with the Premium Edition and Collector's Bundle, with a $34.99 USD Premium upgrade.
Update overview
Revelations is a full campaign expansion, not a single challenge map. Bethesda's launch post places the Slayer in a purgatory where he confronts his past across six large levels, with the Chain Spear as the new combat tool. Completing Master Arenas feeds back into Ripatorium 3.0, unlocking maps, demons and fully upgraded weapons for the custom arena mode, so paid campaign progress ties directly into the free endgame system.
Update 4 is the separate free patch that ships alongside it. Base-game owners get Ripatorium 3.0 without buying the expansion. Anyone on the Premium Edition or Collector's Bundle already owns Revelations and should check entitlement before purchasing it again, and buy on the ecosystem where the base game lives, since add-on ownership does not move between storefronts.
Key details
Bethesda's listed prices are in U.S. dollars and regional pricing differs. Game Pass covers the base game on supported platforms, and Xbox Play Anywhere applies across compatible Xbox and PC environments.
