Background

In Doom RPG series the games are tied to Doom, Doom II, and Doom 3, according to the Doom RPG's old website, placing the entire series in the 22nd century.

Doom RPG is a first-person turn-based role playing game set in the Doom universe. Developed specifically for your mobile device, you reprise the role of the Doom Marine made famous in the groundbreaking id Software titles Doom, Doom II, and Doom 3. Say goodbye to humdrum mobile gaming and prepare yourself for the return to Mars in a showdown with the legions of Hell!

Doom RPG makes a number of references to ideas/technology first introduced in Doom 3, such as the Hydrocon fuel (see Energy).

While there are connections between Doom II RPG and Doom Resurrection (iPhone) (see Garrett and Sam, and locations of Gehenna and Abaddon), and thus loosely connected to Doom 3, this timeline is mostly concerned with the dates given in Doom RPG/Wolfenstein RPG materials. The basic dates for Doom 3 and Doom Resurrection are included but aren't discussed in detail. While placement of Doom 1-2 are not clear (but apparently roughly in this 2144-2145 time period).

Note: Doom 3 was originally designed as a parallel reimagined universe to the original doom games. This timeline retconned it into the universe of Doom RPG/Doom Resurrection.

Doom RPG Timeline

(Doom RPG, Doom RPG II, Doom II RPG Comic, Wolfenstein RPG, UAC Website^[1])

Note: Doom RPG only has a few given dates most of them are taken or based on dates from Doom 3 including a tie in UAC website made for it and inspired by Doom 3 Novels (the website also introduces more information about Doom 3 related characters such as Ian Kelliher and his father both from the novels). The exact date for when Doom RPG begins is not given, but appears to be set in late 2145 (the UAC website itself is under 'lockdown' from the events from the games Doom RPG/Doom 3). In addition there are some tie-in connections between Doom II RPG and Doom Resurrection (another Doom 3 spinoff game), but the date for that game can be found in the Doom 3 section. Furthermore the Doom RPG website seems to indicate that Doom 1-3 also appears in this timeline as well, and the first Doom RPG shares the same character. There is also some crossover between Lost Mission and Doom RPG II. While exact order of Doom 1-3 are not known exactly, it does appear that classic doom was likely retconned to having taken place in 22nd century (rather than 21st as it was in Doom SNES), possibly making Doom 3 (prequel to Doom 1/2).
