Overview

• Doom: The Dark Ages shifts the franchise's combat focus to shield-based defense, blunt-force tactics, and large-scale demon obliteration.
• The game introduces new weapons, including a rail-spike launcher and a skull-shredder, alongside experimental mech and dragon-riding sequences.
• Early reviews commend the game's bold reimagining of Doom’s formula but note slower pacing and underutilized open-ended level design.
• The 22 expansive levels offer exploration and combat flexibility but are criticized for feeling overly drawn out and repetitive at times.
• Set to release May 15, 2025, the game will be available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, with day-one access on Game Pass.
