To start Tonight’s Xbox ShowcaseWe took a look at Doom: The Dark Ages, and oh my day, it looks awesome.
The video begins by saying, “Before he became a hero, he was the super weapon of gods and kings.” And what a super weapon he was. But, I won’t tell you that. You can watch the trailer for Doom: The Dark Ages for yourself below.
DOOM: The Dark Ages will be a prequel to 2016’s DOOM and DOOM Eternal. It’s described as a single-player action FPS that “tells the epic cinematic origin story of the Doom Slayer’s wrath”, and of course, it’s being developed by id Software.
“You are the Doom Slayer, the legendary demon-slaying warrior and super weapon in this never-before-seen dark and terrifying medieval war against Hell itself,” the official blurb reads.
DOOM: The Dark Ages will come to Xbox Series X/S, PC (via Steam), and PS5. Upon its debut, it will be available on Game Pass from day one.
We don’t have a specific release date yet, but the studio has confirmed it will launch in 2025.
