Catch up by playing Doom Anthology
While Doom: The Dark Ages is the third game in the new Doom reboot trilogy that started with Doom 2016 and followed by Doom Eternal in 2020, The Dark Ages is a prequel that takes place before the events of Doom 2016, which canonically places it in the middle of the main Doom series timeline. Yes, Doom has lore, and The Dark Ages seems to be expanding the universe quite a bit. If you’re looking to catch up on the full series before The Dark Ages launches in May, you’re in luck–not only are the classic games in the series still great to play, you can pick up the full collection of games with the Doom Anthology.
This collection includes Doom, Doom 2, Doom 64, Doom 3, Doom 2016, and Doom Eternal Deluxe Edition. You also get a steelbook case and a mini replica of the series’ iconic BFG weapon. The Switch version does not come with a cartridge, but the PlayStation edition includes a Doom Eternal PS4 disc.
The collection is available on PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PC, and normally costs $80, but Doom Anthology is steeply discounted at multiple retailers. You can grab Doom Anthology’s PlayStation edition for only $30 at Amazon-owned retailer Woot, and the Switch edition is even cheaper at just $25. If you buy directly from Amazon, you can get the Switch, PlayStation, or Xbox editions for $48 each. The PC version is sold out, but you can still get it from a reseller for $90 ($10 above list price).
