This sandbox is being used to list [[Commercial games#Doom series|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.

These lists exclude:
+
This lists exclude (unless stated why otherwise):
−
*Media that could be set at any possible point in the timeline (ie: media without a set time frame), and/or media that could be set at any possible point during their respective connected media's setting (eg: the [[Doom comic]], [[Master Levels for Doom II|Master Levels for DOOM II]])
+
*''[[Master Levels for Doom II|Master Levels for DOOM II]]'', as its individual levels either contain no story at all or have stories merely for presentation and are not relevant to the ''DOOM'' timeline whatsoever.
−
*Media that is non-canon, unconfirmed canon, and/or set within its own contained universe (the board games, [[List_of_books#Fiction|novels]], and films)

*Media within the [[:Category:Expanded universe|expanded universe]] ([[:Category:Tabletop_games|board games]], [[:Category:Doom_books|books]], [[:Category:Movies and shorts|films]], etc.).

Whilst it's unconfirmed whether or not [[official add-ons|official add-ons]] are canon to the ''DOOM'' timeline, ones that do not contradict anything official will be included for the sake of completeness:
−
This list excludes:
+
*''[[No End in Sight]]'' appears to be set in an alternate reality that splits off from the timeline after either ''Thy Flesh Consumed'' or ''DOOM II'':
−
*[[DOOM 3]] media and the [[Doom RPG|RPG series]]
+
:*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''.

===Notes===

==[[Doom 64|DOOM 64]]==
−
*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
 
−
:*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]], Episode 3: [[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 no 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, as DOOM exists within it as a video game
 
−
 
 
−
==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. This timeline has yet to be updated.

Revision as of 10:56, 14 April 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 that splits off from the timeline after either Thy Flesh Consumed or 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.
