ID multiverse timeline (Doom 3 as sequel)

The ID multiverse timeline is a concept created by the developers (principally Tom Hall and John Romero) of the ID games in which many of the games created ID are part of a larger multiverse (either a single timeline, or parallel worlds connected together) as discussed by Tom Hall (see Canon or canons). It appears in the lore of Quake Arena/Live/Champions series (from 1999) and Doom/Wolfenstein RPG series (from 2005) series as well. The crossover elements first appeared in backstory for B.J. Blazkowicz from the Wolfenstein 3D guide which tied B.J. to Commander Keen, but to a lesser degree with the inclusion of Nazi 'created' (according to the interlude text) portions of Hell in Doom II.

Background
According to John Romero and Tom Hall, the B.J. Blazkowicz (original series not the Machine Games reboot), Commander Keen, and Doom Marine from the original Doom (Tom Hall only worked on the original Doom) are all connected in the same timeline. They have said that Doom Marine from the series is a descendent of Commander Keen either his son or grandson.

However Doom II’s marine may or may not be the same character or a separate character from the Doom I character depending on different manuals and websites. His backstory differs from that of the original Doom character in that he fought on UAC Mars Base and escaped in a drop ship (mirroring events of Doom 3). Whereas as original Doom character fought in Phobos and Mars and in both original Doom and Ultimate Doom reaches earth via transporter gateways.

In 1999 game Quake III Arena, the Doom Marine ("Doom") appears alongside other ID multiverse characters in which according to the backstory takes place in the Arena Eternal a battle ground with champions brought across the universe and time and space (it was one of the first appearances of the multiverse concept in an iD game).

The connected UAC Website itself was a tie-in to both Doom 3 and the Doom RPG lore. Wolfenstein RPG (2008) utilized Tom Hall's backstory that B.J. was an ancestor of the Doom Marine character/s. Deimos is missing indicating a nod to missing Deimos in the original Doom. However, the placement of Doom II is not clear, the Doom II marine may or may not be the same Marine as that in the original doom (depending on source). Doom II's backstory indicates that he was a survivor who fought back demons on UAC Mars Base (a plot mirrored in Doom 3, and again in Doom RPG) and landed on Earth via a drop pod only to learn that Earth had been invaded (this is clearly different than how original Marine reached earth in Doom/Ultimate Doom). So either Doom II's character is a seperate person (who existed in parallel to original Doom Marine), or that these are in reference to two different invasions at different points in time (which could technically place Doom 1 before Doom 3, and Doom II after, and Doom RPG after both Doom 3 and Doom II). The exact date for Doom II has never been given, but many fans assume it to be directly after Doom/Ultimate Doom (interpreting the endings of the game to be a direct proloque to Doom II despite the differences in backstory for the Doom II character).

Similarly the Doom 3 BFG Edition manual implies that the characters from several games are the same individual, and they represent his adventures):


 * Step into the boots of DOOM Marine and experience his adventures for the first time, or all over again. Featuring enhanced versions of DOOM 3, DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil and the all new DOOM 3: The Lost Mission, plus the classics DOOM and DOOM II, DOOM 3 BFG Edition is the consummate DOOM experience.

Interestingly the introduction seems to go as far to possibly suggest that the marine in Resurrection of Evil is the same marine as Doom 3 (which if true would have to suggest that Marine combat engineer actually did know the nature of the previous incident despite what the manual suggests). However, it also seems to imply that the Bravo Marine in Lost Mission is the same marine, but this is impossible as its timing overlaps with events of Doom 3 (only 6 hours into the invasion).

Some of this may have been ignored or became obselete by new Bethesda games both Wolfenstein (New Order/Old Blood) reboot and new Doom reboot (it is also unclear how much of Doom 2016 even fits with Doom 3 if at all).

However, Quake Champions confirms that the original Doom Slayer is the same character from all (or rather most) of the previous mainline FPS games in the series (going back to Doom 1, Doom 3, and earlier Quake Arena games), but the Terror Billy from Machine Games series is from a seperate universe (and not same character as Doom Slayer's ancestor from Wolfenstein 3-D, but rather an alternate Earth equivalent). Quake Arena/Champions series takes place in the Arena Eternal which is a pocket universe connecting heroes from many universes, across time and space, in an overarching iD Multiverse.

Based on Tom Hall's comments on the Blazkowicz family history the timeline given in SNES Doom, see Doom Timeline (for the classic series timeline) still appears to be fairly accurate. However, how this relates to overall timeline in Doom 3/Quake Series, etc, is not clear, barring explanations of time travel/paradox/time dilation/extreme longevity (medical advancements)/suspended animation, or cloning of the character involved. It would also seem to place at least Doom before the events of Doom 3 (though Doom III’s might be an adaptation/retelling of the Mars Base invasion of Doom II’s manual). Final Doom appears to take place after Doom II. It’s technically unknown how many years Doom 64 takes place after Final Doom, and only that the character in the story was decommissioned, and possibly put under stasis the entire time. It only refers to previous missions as the "DOOM Episodes". It is possible at least from Quake Champions perspective that Quake 64 could have taken place after Doom 3 chronologically, while earlier games took place in after or earlier times.

iD Multiverse
In addition Doom (2016) and Quake Arena/Champion series introduces that there is a multiverse of alternate universes with different earth histories. Characters from these universes are sometimes brought to the Arena Eternal to combat. Thus its possible for characters William J. Blazkowicz and Commander Keen's descendent in one timeline; B.J. Blazkowicz III (aka Doom Guy/Doom Slayer) (who has travelled between 'worlds and time') to meet William J. Blazkowicz ("Terror Billy") from the dark alternate reality (MachineGames) in a place outside of space and time. The exact timelines of these separate universes of the various characters visiting Arena Eternal is not known for every character. Some may even be from the same universes.

The timeline in this article covers the one from the classic iD universe which ties Wolfenstein, Commander Keen and earlier Doom's together (based on Tom Halls comments and various game references). Certain dates for classic Doom are not entirely known, as to order of the games. Some dates place Doom in early 21st century before Doom 3, but other details including what is said on Doom RPG website, and the Doom BFG Edition may place them as later in the timeline and claims its the same character (as also later confirmed by Tom Hall). The intro in manual to Doom II could even be inspiration for Doom 3’s plot (which might place Doom II after Doom 3). Quake Champions still states that marine from Doom 1 and Doom (2016) are the same character and that he becomes the Doom Slayer (so while he may not be in his original universe in Doom 2016, he is still the same Marine who descended from William Blazkowicz in his original universe).

One thing of note is that while the universes are connected somehow and especially as seen in Quake III Arena/Quake Live/Quake Champions games. The existence of parallel universes seems to be a possibility as well, with players crossing over from their own universes/timelines which maybe the case for some elements of the Quake Arena games. So while this is a timeline following Allies winning WW2, there also appears to be a parallel alternate reality in the Id Universe where Allies lost (B.J. from the Allies lost reality is introduced into Quake Champions). It's hinted that the Doom Marine in Doom (2016) has apparently fought for aeons across Worlds and Time (indicating he is same main marine from the original Doom games, but has been fighting his war across dimensions and trying to stop more than one earth's attempts at accessing Hell). This is actually confirmed in Quake Champions backstory for the character (which uses much of the same backstory from Doom 2016).

For the timeline of the universe the Doom Slayer travelled to after his body was discovered in Hell, see Doom Reboot timeline.

(Spear of Destiny/Wolfenstein 3D/Mission Packs, RTCW/Wolfenstein, Doom/Doom II/Doom 3/Doom RPG/Doom II RPG/Doom Resurrection, Orcs & Elves I/II, Quake III Arena/Quake Live/Quake Champions, and Commander Keen)

Note: If the original dating in Doom Timeline and implied by Tom Hall's comments are taken into consideration. Doom 1-2 occur almost a century before Doom 3. But the same character is involved in both, and somehow experiences on Earth itself are apparently classified/hidden from the majority of the public (as is stated in Doom 64's manual, however unlike that seems to be), however technically possible as Doom 2 game takes place in a small part of the earth shown (but Final Doom confirms earth was saved from total invasion).

 * According to Quake Champions; Ranger the character based on the player in Quake 1 has a photo from 1978, that is 30 years old. Placing Quake in 2008. The first Slipgate may or may not have sent him one hundred years into their future, to 2108. He is also a Vietnam veteran. The comic which gives him further backgroun says he’s been trapped in the hellverse since destroying Shub-Niggurath some two decades making it roughly 2128.
 * The Global Defense Force, or GDF, is a supranational paramilitary organization, formed in the mid-21st Century from a large pool of national military organizations and relief agencies, to combat increasingly severe weather events, other natural disasters and terrorist campaigns, as well as to keep the peace in historically unstable regions such as the Middle East. It was created shortly before the Strogg invasion of Earth.
 * The Strogg invaded Earth in the mid-21st Century in search of biological components. The Strogg invaded the Earth in the middle of its 21st Century period, taking its inhabitants completely by surprise. Their large invasion fleet arrived in orbit over the world seemingly out of nowhere, and its ground forces quickly proved themselves a dire threat to the existence of Mankind. By the mid-21st century humanity is fighting for its survival against the hostile alien threat seeking to end the Strogg once and for all by invading their homeworld.
 * How Quake fits into the shared universe is not clear, and there is little work done collecting the dates and timeline from that game and comparing it to Doom series (other than Quake 2/4 appears to take place during the mid 21st century, and majority of Doom takes place in the 22nd century), but could also take place in parallel universes that connect to each other. Doom III Arena's mentions that the Eternal Arena was built "millennia ago" and ties together Doom, Quake 1, and Quake 2 via several characters including Doom, Phobos, Crash, Ranger, Bitterman, Major Wayland, Tank Jr, and Wrack.
 * In addition there are smaller side and alternate timelines from the novels. Note: Bethesda's latest Wolfenstein reboot series The Old Blood and the The New Order which follows Nazis winning WW2 is set in its own timeline as well, but likely doesn't connect to any Doom iteration universe (at least as of yet there is no evidence of space Nazi influenced UAC in the newest game.
 * Note: It appears that Doom Classic may take place "after" Doom 3 in the "iD timeline" due to the fact that Doom 3 marine has the similar  backstory as classic Marine. Whereas placing it as a prequel set in the early 21st century would seemingly cause a number of issues (assuming time travel/time dilation/etc is not involved). Noting that Dafydd novels did in fact introduce extreme 'time dilation' (adding 500 years between Doom 2 and the final novel), and Doom 2016 definitely brings up time travel, but if set after Doom 64 would likely cause issues (if Doom 64 is set before Doom 3), unless Doom 64 took place after Doom 3. For it to be the same Marine would make that marine over a hundred years old (or least had to have jumped forward in time via time dilation during his travels). It would also have to assume he either assaulted an officer again, or that the new command decided to return him to Mars for officer he assaulted over a century before. Lastly, 2018-2022 classic timeline dates, predates the joint UAC/Military 2025 Mars Expeditions mentioned in Doom RPG website. Unless there was an even earlier expedition, and the 2025 date was a second expedition.
 * Sam a droid that appears in Doom Resurrection, also appears in Doom RPG. His final outcome is confirmed in Doom RPG.
 * B.J. Blazkowicz from the Germans won 'alternate universe' appears as a character in Quake Champions. The game is a prequel to Quake III Arena and Quake Live, however the exact placement or order of the games it covers and draws from is unclear. It has its own lore , and is set across 'dimensions'.
