    I’m pretty sure it’s implied that Doom & Doom II weren’t fully removed from the continuity, though.

    IIRC, the original games end with the Doom Marine stuck in hell… Which is also where they found the Doom Slayer. Additionally, despite his background with the Argenta, the Slayer is confirmed to be human in an audio recording; and his Praetor armor is similar enough to the UAC Elite Guard armor that he can upgrade his armor with tokens taken from dead guards.

    So… In short, the Slayer might still be the Marine, but with a ton of interstitial backstory that kind of renders his actual origin irrelevant.
