Doom: The Dark Ages Slaughter Mode, Digi Mart USA News: As part of its 25th anniversary announcement, Xbox-owned Bethesda has revealed a free update for id Software’s Doom: The Dark Ages, according to a publisher report on the announcement.
The update adds a new mode called Slaughter Mode, which Bethesda described on its official website. Players fight endless and varied waves of demonic hordes across 19 arenas, and each round and run features a different combination of enemies, so no two runs are identical.
Difficulty rises as the player progresses.
Rewards grow with every round cleared. At a checkpoint, players can claim their rewards or stake them for a greater payout in the next run.
Dying, however, means losing everything won in that run. Unlocked checkpoints serve as new starting points for future runs rather than requiring a full restart.
Claimed rewards can be used to unlock slayer skins exclusive to Slaughter Mode, weapon skins usable in all modes, profile icons, backgrounds and more.
Access to the mode is free for owners of the premium edition of the game, the Revelations DLC or the Premium Upgrade. The update arrives on November 16 for Xbox Series S|X, PlayStation 5 and PC.
