What Happens at the End of Doom?
The Doom franchise has been a staple of the gaming industry for decades, with its iconic protagonist, the Doomguy, fighting against hordes of demons from Hell. The original Doom game, released in 1993, ended with the Doomguy defeating the Dark Lord and disappearing into the ether. But what happens at the end of Doom? Let’s dive into the answers.
The Original Doom (1993)
The original Doom game ends with the Doomguy defeating the Dark Lord, and all the demons that remained outside of Hell dissipate and disappear into the ether. This marks the end of the game, and the player is left wondering what happens next.
Doom 2016
Doom 2016, a reboot of the franchise, takes a different approach. The game ends with Dr. Hayden taking the Crucible and walking away, while the Doomguy is seen flying off to pursue some priests. This ending sets the stage for the next game in the series, Doom Eternal.
Doom Eternal
Doom Eternal, the sequel to Doom 2016, takes place after the events of the first game. The game ends with the Doomguy, now known as the Slayer, standing victorious over the body of the Blood Emperor. The game’s final scene shows the Slayer standing on a cliff, looking out at the ruins of Earth, with the implication that he will continue to fight against the forces of Hell.
The Slayer’s Fate
So, what happens to the Doomguy after the events of Doom Eternal? According to the game’s lore, the Slayer is immortal and has been fighting against the forces of Hell for thousands of years. He is the chosen one, destined to defeat the forces of Hell and save humanity.
The Doom Slayer’s Legacy
The Doom Slayer’s legacy is one of heroism and sacrifice. He has saved humanity from certain destruction time and time again, and his actions have inspired generations of warriors to take up the fight against the forces of Hell.
The Future of Doom
The future of the Doom franchise is uncertain, but one thing is clear: the Doomguy will continue to fight against the forces of Hell. Whether he will face new challenges and enemies, or continue to battle against familiar foes, only time will tell.
In Conclusion
In conclusion, the end of Doom is a topic of much debate and speculation. While the original game ended with the Doomguy defeating the Dark Lord, the rebooted series has taken a different approach. The Doomguy’s fate is one of immortality and heroism, and his legacy will continue to inspire generations of warriors to come.
