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.
| Task | Estimated Time |
| Main Story | ~12 hours |
| 100% Collectibles | ~14 hours |
| Platinum Trophy / 100% Achievements | ~16 hours |
💡 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
- Pandemonium
These modes are unlocked from the start, so while they enhance replay value, they aren’t true post-game additions.
