Recently, Starfield added an exhilarating free quest known as At Hell’s Gate, which features an array of Doom-themed items. Developed by modders from Bethesda’s Creation Club, this initiative has sparked lively discussions among gamers. Although the launch of the Creation Club earlier this year faced criticism for its monetization of quests like the official Tracker’s Alliance, it has nevertheless enabled creators to produce unique and imaginative modifications, enhancing the game with references to popular franchises, including Star Wars.

The Doom franchise has experienced a resurgence in popularity, particularly since id Software showcased its next installment, Doom: The Dark Ages, during the Summer Game Fest in June. This forthcoming game promises players a journey back in time as the Doom Slayer masters a variety of melee weapons, including shields, maces, and flails, all set against the backdrop of intense, gore-filled combat. The reveal trailer generated significant excitement, showcasing breathtaking visuals and heart-pounding action, solidifying its status as a highlight of Xbox’s event.

The 31st anniversary of Doom marks a fitting moment for Starfield to introduce its new content. The At Hell’s Gate quest, executed by Kinggath Creations, rewards players with several desirable items, such as:
