Doom: The Dark Ages Promises Largest and Most Expansive Campaign in Franchise History

Set to release on May 15, 2025, the single-player prequel introduces a medieval setting, grounded combat, and cinematic storytelling.

Doom: The Dark Ages is a prequel to Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal, focusing on the Doom Slayer's medieval battles against demonic hordes.
The game introduces a more grounded combat system, featuring a 'tank-like' Slayer, a new Shield Saw weapon, and physics-driven Glory Kills.
Exploration plays a larger role with sandbox-style areas, secret locations, and progression tied to uncovering upgrades and abilities.
Key new features include a 30-story Atlan mech, a cybernetic dragon, and a sprint mechanic not seen in the series since 2004.
The story takes a more cinematic approach with cutscenes, aiming to make the narrative accessible to both new and returning players.
