Prepare for a brutal journey into the past! id Software is gearing up to unleash Doom: The Dark Ages this May 15th, plunging players into a medieval fantasy world unlike anything seen before in the franchise. Revealed during Xbox's Developer Direct, this prequel promises a visceral blend of classic Doom action and dark age weaponry.
A Medieval Twist on Classic Doom
Forget space stations and futuristic landscapes. The Dark Ages rewinds the clock, setting the stage in a gritty, medieval realm long before the events of Doom Eternal. While the core Doom DNA remains, expect a world far grander in scope, with a stronger narrative focus driven by compelling cutscenes.
Brutal Melee Combat Takes Center Stage
Embrace the dark ages with a new arsenal of bone-crushing melee weapons. Wield spiked maces and iron flails as you tear through demonic hordes. The emphasis on close-quarters combat promises a visceral and impactful experience.
Scale of Battles Reaches New Heights
Prepare for battles on a colossal scale. The Doomslayer won't just be facing hordes of demons; he'll be piloting a cybernetic dragon and a skyscraper-sized mech suit to battle enemies the size of kaiju! It's over-the-top action, cranked up to eleven.
Customize Your Carnage
Doom: The Dark Ages aims to be more accessible than ever, offering a series of gameplay sliders that allow you to tweak the experience to your liking. Adjust game speed and parry timing to find the perfect balance, whether you're a seasoned Doom veteran or a newcomer to the series.
Coming Soon to a Platform Near You
Mark your calendars! Doom: The Dark Ages will be storming onto PS5, Xbox, and PC this May. Prepare for a medieval inferno!
