Nintendo 64 Classic Headed for Modern Platforms
Doom 64's Potential Next-Gen Arrival: PS5 and Xbox Series X/S Versions Hinted at by ESRB Rating Update
Recent updates to the ESRB ratings suggest a possible upcoming release of Doom 64 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles. While neither Bethesda nor id Software have made an official announcement, the updated ESRB listing strongly indicates a new port is imminent.
The original Doom 64, a Nintendo 64 exclusive from 1997, received a remastered release for PS4 and Xbox One in 2020, featuring enhanced visuals and a new level. This new ESRB rating suggests Bethesda is bringing the updated version to current-gen consoles.
The timing of ESRB ratings often precedes game releases by a few months. This, combined with Bethesda's history of surprise releases (similar to the 2023 Felix the Cat re-release leak via ESRB), makes a near-future launch highly probable. While the updated rating doesn't include a PC version, the 2020 release did include a Steam version, and modding communities already offer ways to experience Doom 64 on PC.
Key Points:
- Updated ESRB ratings list Doom 64 for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
- No official announcement from Bethesda or id Software yet.
- Past ESRB rating updates have accurately predicted imminent releases.
- A PC release remains unconfirmed.
Beyond this potential Doom 64 release, fans can anticipate the arrival of Doom: The Dark Ages, rumored for a 2025 launch, potentially with an official announcement in January. These re-releases of classic titles could serve as a perfect lead-in to the next main installment in the long-running Doom franchise.
