For over three decades, DOOM has been about facing demons head-on. Now, we’re channeling that same spirit into fighting for something even more meaningful: animals in need. 

To celebrate the recent launch of DOOM: The Dark Ages, Xbox and Bethesda are teaming up with three animal shelters to support shelters across the country — and unleashing a brand-new wave of chaos-turned-compassion with an updated version of our fan-favorite The Bark Ages charity t-shirt. 

Last year, fans at QuakeCon rallied behind the original Bark Ages design, raising thousands for Dallas Pets Alive with a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the world’s most ferocious (and adorable) four-legged fighters. This year, we’re going even bigger: Xbox is donating $32,000 — one thousand for every year since DOOM first rocked the world — to three animal welfare organizations; Nebraska Humane Society, Seattle Humane, and Montgomery County Humane Society.

And on May 28 at 9am PT / 12pm ET, we’re officially launching the new Bark Ages t-shirt on the Bethesda Gear Store. The net proceeds from sales will go directly to support those same animal welfare organizations locations. The shirt will only be available for two weeks, so act fast — and do good.

Whether you’re a DOOM Slayer or a dog lover (or both), this is your chance to gear up and give back.

Because every good Slayer deserves a loyal companion.
