Bethesda and id Software used May 15, 2026, to mark the first anniversary of DOOM: The Dark Ages with two consumer-facing moves: a new wave of official merchandise and a steep Steam discount. Bethesda’s Slayers Club post said the anniversary drop includes a Luke Preece x Billelis capsule collection spanning wall art, apparel and home goods, while Steam listed the base game at 67% off, down to $23.09 from $69.99. Steam’s store page also kept a notable unresolved detail in view. The Premium Edition listing continued to advertise campaign DLC, but the page said “DLC availability to be provided at a later date,” language that remained live during the anniversary promotion. ### What exactly did Bethesda announce for the anniversary? Bethesda’s May 15 Slayers Club post said the company was “celebrating one year since release” with a Luke Preece x Billelis collaboration tied to DOOM: The Dark Ages. (slayersclub.bethesda.net) The post described the capsule collection as available “for a limited time” through the official Bethesda Gear Store. The same post listed five featured items from the collaboration: a canvas print, wall banner, limited-edition lithograph, throw blanket and bomber jacket. (store.steampowered.com) Bethesda also highlighted a DOOM: The Dark Ages wearable helmet replica in a Divinity Variant colorway and an exclusive Wraithstone collectible. ### Which products are already visible in the official store? (slayersclub.bethesda.net) The Bethesda Gear storefront showed multiple DOOM: The Dark Ages products alongside the anniversary push, including a wall banner priced at $30, T-shirts starting at $32, a pint glass at $25 and a Slayer Mini Collectible Figure at $75. The store page also listed a Red Keycard Stream Deck MK.2 by Elgato at $159.99 and the game’s original soundtrack on 4LP for $110. (slayersclub.bethesda.net) The official store pages accessible through Bethesda’s gear domains confirmed that DOOM merchandise is being sold through DPI Merchandising-operated storefronts. Third-party pickup of Bethesda’s announcement also identified the anniversary collection as the Luke Preece x Billelis line now available through the official gear store. ### How deep is the Steam discount, and how long is it live? (gear.bethesda.net) Steam showed the standard edition of DOOM: The Dark Ages at 67% off, reducing the price to $23.09 from $69.99. The same store page listed the Premium Edition at $32.99, down from $99.99, and the Digital Premium Upgrade at $11.54, down from $34.99. Steam said the offer was part of an “id Software Anniversary Sale” and described the DOOM: The Dark Ages markdown as the franchise title’s deepest discount so far, phrased on-page as a “deepest ever discount of 66.6%.” The countdown timer on the page indicated the promotion was time-limited. (gear.bethesda.net) ### Why are people still talking about DLC a year later? Steam’s own product copy kept the issue alive because the Premium Edition still bundled “Campaign DLC” while adding a footnote that its availability would be provided later. (store.steampowered.com) That wording appeared directly beneath the anniversary sale pricing. No new DLC date appeared in the Slayers Club anniversary post. Bethesda’s official anniversary article focused instead on merchandise, the anniversary stream and broader id Software milestones, including the studio’s 35th anniversary and the 10-year mark since DOOM (2016). (store.steampowered.com) ### What else did Bethesda point players toward next? Bethesda’s anniversary post directed players to a DOOM: The Dark Ages One Year Anniversary Stream featuring Hugo Martin on the official Bethesda Twitch channel. (store.steampowered.com) The same article also pointed readers to QuakeCon 2026, scheduled for August 6-9 at the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas, where id Software founding members John Carmack, John Romero, Adrian Carmack and Tom Hall are set to appear. (slayersclub.bethesda.net) Steam’s sale page, meanwhile, said the promotion was part of a broader id Software catalog event. As of the anniversary listing, the base game remained available on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC, with Bethesda also noting it is on Game Pass Ultimate and Premium. (slayersclub.bethesda.net)
