Not all of it was explored, and it took three or four different campaigns to explore portions of it, counting Doom RPG as well. Also Mars City was a huge place in Doom 3. Which could allow plenty of time for UAC to rebuild and restructure since the events of Doom 3. All three take place in the 22nd century.Ĭhronologically speaking Doom 2016 takes place 4 years after Doom 3 (and Doom RPG). The basic layout of the timeline is almost exactly the same as that in Doom 3 (and roughly the same as in Doom RPG).Ĭhronologically speaking many of the backstory events mentioned overlap to very similar equivalents if not the same events as mentioned in Doom 3 (and Doom RPG). That is to say that it takes place chronologically after Doom 3, but shares little to no direct narrative connections.
One interpretation is that Doom 3 universe, but is only a 'soft-reboot' of the universe. While this timeline overlaps fairly well with Doom 3's timeline (see Shared timeline) they are left off this timeline for easier comparison with the Doom 3 timeline.Īlso because there is a split in the fan community as to what type of 'reboot' Doom (2016) actually is, and how it relates to previous games, this is also discussed here.ĭoom 3 and Doom (2016) in the same universe Doom 64 is mentioned as a foot note (separate from the main timeline). This timeline only covers the dates relevant and mentioned in the 'reboot' series (as there is no clear indication how it interacts with events of Doom 64, and when the date of that event took place, or what universe it took place in, in this reboot). For example, as for when Classic DOOM series takes place in its respective universe see Doom Timeline and Doom Retcon Timeline (with original interpretation that they took place in 21st century and later retcons implying they took place in the 22nd century). If the dates are intended to be based on Earth time (as the earth based months indicate) it would be in the 22nd century, but seemingly to overlap previous series that apparently take place in the 22nd century (either originally or through retcons). Perhaps the system in Doom (2016) is a mix of MTC, and Earth based time, but how that works is not clear. Other dates in the Codex/Story Of Earth confirms earth style dates of 21 (assuming they aren't in the strange "MTC" system of Doom 2016). It's difficult in general to give Mars "months' as it's moons do not orbit in the same way the Moon orbits around Earth.Īnother strange anomaly appears in that date given on the invasion maps in Doom Eternal are (which is clearly much earlier than 22nd century).
