id Software, the developer behind Doom: The Dark Ages, has revealed an exciting new free update for the game's Revelations DLC. This update will introduce an endless single-player Slaughter Mode, set to launch next month. According to game director Hugo Martin, Slaughter Mode will challenge players to battle through increasing waves of demons across various arenas.

While the exact launch date has not been disclosed, it is clear that id Software is not planning to release it on November 19th. The announcement comes amidst a challenging time for id Software, which recently underwent layoffs. Despite these difficulties, both co-founders John Romero and John Carmack, as well as game director Hugo Martin, have expressed optimism and commitment to continuing development on Doom: The Dark Ages and its expansions, including Revelations.
