The upcoming DOOM: The Dark Ages promises a major evolution for the franchise, moving into a semi-open world. Players will be exploring medieval caves and mines in search of resources, with freedom to choose objectives and combat.
Combat takes an aggressive style, with innovative medieval weapons like the shield saw and spiked mace. Gameplay cutscenes include piloting a cybernetic dragon or an Altan mech, offering a unique experience.
The narrative will be more accessible, including cinematic cutscenes, new characters and more powerful villains. Music is composed by Finishing Move, known for previous collaborations on popular titles.
DOOM: The Dark Ages, the latest title from id Software, has revealed the Cosmic Realm in the latest official trailer. It brings some terrifying new enemies such as the Cosmic Baron, who will relentlessly attack Slayer. Players must use their parrying to survive these intense and fast-paced confrontations.
The trailer also features a new Cacodemon hybrid that can immobilize enemies with its dangerous tentacles. To deal with these monsters, Slayer now has the Reavershot, a destructive weapon that launches a heavy iron ball and chain. This new weapon promises to bring spectacular moments of brutal action.
DOOM: The Dark Ages releases on May 15 for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC, and will be available from day one on Game Pass, offering an explosive experience for fans of the series.
