May 15 Release?
According to a now-removed post by Gamekult, DOOM: The Dark Ages is slated for release on May 15. This aligns with previous speculations from insider NateTheHate, who suggested a late spring release for the game. While it is important to note this is still a leak, and not official, many are hoping that this turns out to be true!
Official Reveal at Developer_Direct
Microsoft is scheduled to hold its Developer_Direct presentation tomorrow, where they are expected to showcase several upcoming titles. DOOM: The Dark Ages is one of the key announcements on the list, so this leak could take some of the wind out of their sails. The presentation will happen at 21:00 Moscow time on January 23rd and will offer more information on the game.
A Prequel to the Modern Doom Games
For those unfamiliar, DOOM: The Dark Ages is a prequel to the 2016 DOOM and DOOM Eternal. This means that the game will explore the lore of this franchise, and its main character, the doom slayer.
