The latest trailer for Doom: The Dark Ages, just dropped by Bethesda, gives us a deeper dive into the game’s narrative-driven experience—a noticeable shift from previous entries in the franchise. This time around, developer id Software is trading fast-paced multiplayer chaos for a gritty, story-rich single-player adventure.
🎮 About Doom: The Dark Ages
Set between the events of Doom 64 and Doom (2016), the game is poised to answer some long-standing questions in the franchise’s timeline. Doom 64 ends with the Marine sacrificing himself by remaining in Hell to stop the demonic invasion for good. But when Doom (2016) picks up, our hero—now the iconic Slayer—wakes up on Mars in a sarcophagus, ready to rip and tear once more.
So what happened in between? Doom: The Dark Ages may finally bridge the gap:
- How did the Marine escape Hell?
- How did he transform into the Slayer?
- What led him to Mars and the events of the 2016 reboot?
This prequel aims to flesh out those mysteries with what id Software calls its “best story yet.”
🗓️ Release Info
Doom: The Dark Ages will launch on May 15, coming to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, and yes—Day One on Xbox Game Pass.
Get ready to dive into the origin of the Slayer with medieval brutality and a demonic twist. 💀⚔️
