You&#8217;ll be able to launch the spear at foes from a distance but also use it as a grappling hook. The footage shows the Doom Slayer using the spear for platforming and, more importantly, yanking himself towards demons before unloading several shotgun shells into them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Narratively, it seems the Doom Slayer is being stripped of his armor and plunged down into hell, which might be the first time he finds himself there given The Dark Ages&#8217; placement in the Doom timeline. There&#8217;s some suggestions too that we&#8217;ll get glimpses of the first Doom in Revelations too, but it&#8217;s unclear if these are just neat callbacks, like those in the 2016 release of Doom, or more substantial story beats.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doom Eternal received numerous DLC expansions, but id Software hasn&#8217;t indicated yet if Revelations will be the only one for The Dark Ages. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the Xbox Games Showcase at Summer Game Fest, id Software revealed an expansion for Doom: The Dark Ages titled Revelations.
