More of that sweet DOOM gameplay is out there as we see a new realm we will get to explore in DOOM: The Dark Ages
The thoughts that DOOM: The Dark Ages was going to start to dip into the Lovecraftian horrors out there seem like they have merit now. That is, id Software is finally here to show off a new realm that we have yet to see in any game and it will be touching a bit more on that cosmic horror that the other genre is known for. Here we go with the DOOM Slayer entering into the Cosmic Realm when the game launches on May 15th for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Not the crossover I thought we were going to get here, but one that looks like it will add a whole lot more to the game than just some newly skinned demons out there. Let us dig into the new realm and see just what might be going on.
First off, in DOOM: The Dark Ages, this new realm will be something that the team has been wanting to place into the games for a while, so there was already a lot of work for it before now. Work that will not only give us a dark and cold level to blast our way through, but a mixture of the demons and the cosmic horror designs. Yes, that means a whole lot of extra tentacles and other darkness that demons should already have. To help combat these new horrors, we will be getting new weapons for our DOOM Slayer to use in the mix. An ancient weapon that fires off a mace on a chain to do not only firearm damage but also to be used in a melee attack of sorts too. All with the blues and the blacks that we should expect when compared to the reds and the greens of the core demons. Not too shabby if I do say so, and you can see all of this in motion just a bit further down the page.

Did you think that we would hit up some extra Lovecraftian horrors in the DOOM universe or did you think that was going to stay a separate thing forever? What do you think about the new weapon and will we be able to bring it out of this realm once we have slayed everything? Why do you think it took this long to mix it up like this and are you glad the day has finally come? Head on down to the comment section to discuss all of that and everything else we have for the game. We still have more to come for DOOM: The Dark Ages, so please keep on checking in here for all of those updates and many, many more.
