===Notes===
 
*There are multiple contradictions from official and semi-official sources as to when the original ''DOOM'' games take place:
 
:*The manual for the [[SNES]] port of ''DOOM'' claims that the Instruction Booklet was published on 15/03/2022
 
::*John Romero later claimed that this is in fact false, as the SNES manual was not wrote by ID
 
:*Based on [[Tom Hall]]'s comments on Doomguy being [[Commander Keen]]'s grandson, that would set the original ''DOOM'' games, 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)
 
:*According to the Death Certificate that came with the "[[Daisy]], The Pet Rabbit" doll sold by [[John Romero]], ''[[Inferno]]'' of the original ''DOOM'' takes place on 29/05/2020
 
::*The SNES manual date may still be accurate as it is more than likely, in-universe, it was published ''after'' the events of the original ''DOOM''
 
::*If assuming Doomguy is Keens's ''son'' rather than his grandson, the 2020s timeframe is still accurate
 
*Whilst it's unconfirmed whether or not Official Add-Ons are canon to the ''DOOM'' timeline, ones that do not contradict anything official will be included for the sake of completeness
 
:*''[[No End in Sight]]'' appears to be set in an alternate reality from ''DOOM'', or one that splits off from the timeline after ''DOOM II''
 
::*The end slide states that the ''DOOM'' series (or at the very least ''DOOM (1993)'') exists within this reality as a video game series
 
:::*The end slide also suggests that the human race, apart from Doomguy, is now extinct, which contradicts official games set after ''DOOM II''

Revision as of 19:31, 9 March 2023

This sandbox is being used to list DOOM media, sorted by in-universe chronological order. Because of the ambiguity of when exactly most material in the franchise is set, and its many anachronisms, this list is separated into sections by each respective era, and makes use of a heavy amount of guesstimating.

This lists exclude (unless stated why otherwise):

Whilst it's unconfirmed whether or not official add-ons are canon to the DOOM timeline, ones that do not contradict anything official will be included for the sake of completeness:

  • No End in Sight appears to be set in an alternate reality, or at least one that splits off from the timeline after DOOM II:
  • The official story contradicts the ending of DOOM II, as it infers that the invasion of Earth did not cease after the defeat of the Icon of Sin.
  • The end slide implies that the DOOM series (or at the very least DOOM (1993)) exists within this reality as a video game series.
  • The end slide also suggests that the human race, apart from Doomguy, is now extinct, which contradicts official games set after DOOM II.
  • Deathless appears to have no story.
  • REKKR is set in a universe unrelated to DOOM.
