DOOM: The Dark Ages – Full Completion Time, Post-Game Content & DLC Info

Wondering how long it takes to beat DOOM: The Dark Ages? Here’s a breakdown of campaign length, completion rewards, post-game content, and details on upcoming DLC.

⏱️ How Long Is DOOM: The Dark Ages?

DOOM: The Dark Ages continues the franchise’s fast-paced, gore-filled tradition with a focused campaign that doesn’t overstay its welcome. While it’s slightly longer than its predecessors for completionists, the game remains relatively short by modern standards.

Most players can finish everything in a single playthrough if they stay on top of weapon mastery and collectibles.

DOOM: The Dark Ages Completion Rewards

Beating the game isn’t just for bragging rights—DOOM: The Dark Ages rewards players with exclusive Slayer and weapon skins for tackling different difficulty levels and challenges:

Difficulty Completion Rewards:

• Aspiring Slayer / Hurt Me Plenty / Ultra-Violence / Nightmare
  → Slayer’s Nightmare Skin
  
• Pandemonium Difficulty
  → Silver Slayer Skin
  
• Ultra-Nightmare Difficulty
  → Gold Slayer Skin
  

Weapon Mastery Rewards:

• Complete all mastery challenges
  → Gold skins for weapons
  

These weapon skins can be earned in your first playthrough if you focus on weapon challenge objectives as you progress.

️ Is There Post-Game Content or New Game Plus?

Unfortunately, DOOM: The Dark Ages doesn’t include traditional post-game content or a New Game Plus mode. Once you finish the campaign, you can:

• Replay levels for collectibles or challenges
  
• Attempt higher difficulties, such as:
  
  • Pandemonium
    
  • Ultra-Nightmare
    

These modes are unlocked from the start, so while they enhance replay value, they aren’t true post-game additions.

Will There Be DLC for DOOM: The Dark Ages?

Yes! DOOM: The Dark Ages will receive story-based campaign DLC, following the model set by DOOM Eternal. While no specific details or release date have been announced, we know:

• The DLC is included with the Premium Edition of the game
  
• The Premium Edition costs $30 more than the standard version
  
• Expectations are high for substantial content, similar to The Ancient Gods expansions from DOOM Eternal
