Despite this, creators have been making a variety of interesting and wacky mods, many of which have brought a number ofStar Warsand other pop culture characters to the sci-fi RPG.
Doomhas also been back in the limelight in recent months, as franchise developer id Software revealed the next big title in the acclaimed FPS reboot series,Doom: The Dark Ages, back in June as part of Xbox’s celebrated Summer Game Fest showcase. As its title suggests,Doom: The Dark Agestakes players back in timeto see the Doom Slayer wield melee weaponry like shields, maces, flails, and other barbaric tools of destruction. The short reveal trailer, which showcased short snippets of gameplay footage, stunned fans with its visuals and gory, high-octane action, becoming one of the more talked about reveals of Xbox’s impressive showcase.

Once the At Hell’s Gate quest is installed, players can go to any ofStarfield’s four major citiesand find a Settled Systems News Network (SSNN) booth to start their hellish journey and earn theirDoom-inspired goodies. The release of this quest seems to have captured the attention ofDoomfans under Bethesda’s At Hell’s Gate tweet, even from some gamers who skippedStarfieldbut are now interested in trying it just for this quest. It’s a clear example of the ways Creation Club can revitalize interest in a game for those who otherwise wouldn’t have played it. TheDoomname surely helps too.
