Notes

  • The only somewhat official timeframe for the events of DOOM and DOOM II is stated on the manual for the SNES port of DOOM, which claims that the instruction booklet was published on 15/03/2022. However, based on Tom Hall's comments on Doomguy being Commander Keen's grandson, that would set DOOM and DOOM II, at the earliest, in the mid-2030s (assuming Keen [aged 8 in the early 1990s] and his future child each had a child at the age of 18).
  • If assuming Doomguy is Keens's son rather than his grandson, the 2022 timeframe is still accurate

DOOM 3 timeline

This list assumes that DOOM 3 and the RPG series somehow fits into the timeline; as a result, this timeline may be less accurate than the above timeline, but may also help pinpoint when the original games take place

Notes

  • If going by Tom Hall's comments on Doomguy being Commander Keen's grandson, that would mean both Keen and his child each would have had to have had a child in their sixties at the least, which is relatively unlikely
  • If assuming Doomguy is merely a descendant of Keen and not his grandson, the 2145 timeframe is still accurate
