  • A Doom Eternal fan impressed the community with their Maykr Slayer cosplay, inspired by the techno-organic race.
  • The Maykr Slayer skin can be obtained through Doom Eternal’s The Ancient Gods DLC.

A devoted fan of “Doom Eternal” has unveiled their stunning Maykr Slayer costume to fellow enthusiasts, leaving players in awe with its intricate craftsmanship. The Maykrs, introduced in the 2020 release of “Doom Eternal”, possess a unique techno-organic genetic structure, drawing comparisons to the artworks of H.R. Giger and the survival horror game “Scorn” by Ebb Software.

1993 marked the beginning of the FPS franchise’s journey, providing players with an adrenaline-pumping experience filled with hellish battles against demonic adversaries, embodying the Doom Slayer. Not only has Doom maintained its status as a top-selling shooter series, but it has also sparked a captivating trend among fans and tech-savvy gamers. This trend encourages them to run the original game on diverse devices, including one dedicated Doom fan who managed to get the game running on an ultrasound scanner.

On Reddit, a post by user Ruhyah_Cosplay showcased an impressive series of photos from a fan’s meticulously crafted Maykr Slayer costume, which was warmly received on the Doom subreddit. The fan skillfully captured the white, red, and gold color scheme, along with the slayer’s weapon and distinctive one-eyed helmet adorned with a wicked grin. Although the cosplayer accurately replicated the design, some spectators pondered how they could see while wearing the helmet, as it appeared that the armor lacked peepholes. The popular game Doom Eternal delves into the intricate lore of Khan Maykr, ruler of the Urdak realm, and the Maykr race. Several Redditors inquired about obtaining the Maykr slayer skin within the game.

In the downloadable content for Doom Eternal, titled “The Ancient Gods,” there are numerous hidden mysteries waiting to be discovered.

A third fan drew a comparison between the Maykr Slayer’s helmet and the monstrous creatures from the Invincible series called ReAnimen abominations.

The upcoming addition to the shooter series is titled “Doom: The Dark Ages“, marking its position as the 8th main installment in the franchise. This game is set in a techno-medieval world, with a prequel storyline that precedes the events of 2016’s “Doom“.
