Revision as of 05:51, 23 September 2020
This sandbox is being used to list DOOM media, sorted by in-universe chronological order.
These lists exclude:
- 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)
- Media that is non-canon, unconfirmed canon, and/or set within its own contained universe (the board games, novels, and films)
Classic timeline
This list excludes:
- DOOM 3 media and the RPG series

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
- 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 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, 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.

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
