Summary
Revelations expands DOOM: The Dark Ages with a new campaign chapter, new demons and the Chain Spear weapon, which adds mobility-focused combat and its own tutorials, binds and difficulty settings.
Update 4.0 also overhauls the Ripatorium: 3 new arenas arrive with Revelations content, while base-game encounter sharing gets shorter passcodes, saveable presets, continuous spawns and broader health, ammo and Berserk options.
PC and PS5 Pro players get major technical upgrades, including DLSS 4.5 with 5x and 6x Frame Generation, dynamic resolution scaling for DLSS, FSR and XeSS, and PSSR support on PS5 Pro.
Balance changes and bug fixes touch melee weapons, enemy AI, levels, HUD and cinematics, including Dreadmace damage tuning, a new Cyberdemon knockback wing attack and faster credit fast-forwarding.
id Software still flagged several known issues, including crashes when switching PC display modes with OBS running, unsupported Panther Lake devices and Chain Spear or Shield Saw input lockups in some gameplay scenarios.
