In the thrilling world of Doom, the iconic Revenant demon is making a grand return in the upcoming game, Doom: The Dark Ages. This classic enemy, known for its skeletal appearance and deadly missile launchers, has been a staple in the Doom series. From its introduction in Doom 2 to its more recent appearances in Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal, the Revenant has evolved in design and gameplay, adapting to the changing landscape of the franchise.
Doom 3 saw a slower and more zombie-like version of the Revenant, fitting the game's deliberate and low-key tone. However, the demon took center stage once again in Doom 2016, showcasing a faster and more aggressive demeanor, complete with jetpacks for added mobility. Doom Eternal delved deeper into the lore, revealing that Revenants were former UAC personnel turned demonic creatures loyal to the forces of hell. These upgrades added a new layer of challenge for players in the fast-paced gameplay of Doom Eternal.
Now, as we look ahead to Doom: The Dark Ages, Bethesda and ID Software are teasing a fresh take on the Revenant demon. Set in a medieval sci-fi world, the Revenant will wield a sickle for melee attacks and shoot skulls instead of missiles. This redesign reflects the game's new aesthetic and gameplay style, promising a slower and more methodical approach while retaining the intense action the series is known for. Fans eagerly anticipate how this revamped Revenant will fit into the larger experience of Doom: The Dark Ages.
