Doom Slayers Collection listed for Nintendo Switch ahead of QuakeCon
It includes Doom, Doom 2, Doom 3, Doom 64 and 2016’s Doom reboot
Bethesda looks set to release Doom Slayers Collection for Nintendo Switch.
The FPS collection has been listed on Best Buy ahead of an anticipated announcement at QuakeCon and its expected release on September 2.
Listed at $49.99, the package includes Doom, Doom 2, Doom 3, Doom 64 and 2016’s Doom reboot.
The Doom Slayers Collection was previously released for Xbox and PlayStation consoles, minus Doom 64, which came to Switch in 2019.
Last week Bethesda released the official schedule for QuakeCon 2021, which is running from August 19-21 as an all-digital event.
The schedule initially mentioned plans to discuss a “revitalized edition” of Quake, suggesting a new project could be in the works to coincide with the franchise’s 25th anniversary, although the event description was later pulled.

QuakeCon highlights look set to include a Deathloop deep dive with Arkane Lyon ahead of the game’s release next month, a look at Fallout 76’s upcoming Fallout Worlds update, a celebration of The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim’s 10th anniversary, and a Doom Eternal studio update.
Id Software recently confirmed it is developing a new single-player Horde mode for Doom Eternal. It will come at the expense of the previously planned multiplayer Invasion mode, which would have enabled users to take on the form of demons and invade other players’ campaigns.
