A new deep dive for DOOM: The Dark Ages is finally out there with a look at how and when this DOOM game is going to shake things up further
It is time to gear up and get ready to head back into Hell, again, as we have a massive deep dive into DOOM: The Dark Ages as well as an update on when we can expect to play the full game on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. It has been a full journey for id Software and they want to highlight how this prequel will not only give us more of the IP but also shake things up in a great way to offer even the most diehard fans of DOOM something they did not expect. At least something beyond the usual guns and gory kills when the game fully releases on May 15th out there. Yes, the wait is only going to be a little bit longer and now we can see the gameplay to expect when that day does finally come around.
There is certainly a whole lot to take in and look at for DOOM: The Dark Ages in this new video for the game, with some of the bigger takeaways being on the combat and environment side of things. Not only does this one focus more on a medieval style of combat with the guns, but it also will have us using a new shield to defend and navigate the world. Along with that, three different melee options that we can use to strike back as we see fit when not wanting to use the guns or any of the dynamic glory kills. As if that was not enough, DOOM: The Dark Ages will also offer up some massive “mech-like” constructs we will get to pilot along with our own mechanical dragon. Not only in specific parts of the game but in more ways than just that so the game keeps on feeling as dynamic as it would if the concept was not already out of left field in it all.
DOOM: The Dark Ages — Gameplay Deep Dive
Join Marty, Hugo, and the team at id Software as they journey into the first gameplay deep dive for DOOM: The Dark Ages!
Developed by id Software, DOOM: The Dark Ages is the prequel to the critically acclaimed DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal that tells an epic cinematic story of the DOOM Slayer’s rage. In this third installment of the modern DOOM series, players will step into the blood-stained boots of the DOOM Slayer, in this never-before-seen dark and sinister medieval war against Hell.
Coming May 15, 2025. Pre-order on Xbox Series X|S, PC, or PlayStation 5.
How excited are you to see that the DOOM Slayer will be back much sooner than we could have thought before? Do you think that we will have the option to summon up the mechanical beasts in the game or will they still have their places but will just have more opportunities for them to be used? How hard will it be to master the shield throw with the guns and melee combat that we see flow out here today? Take those shots down in the comment section and then let us all discuss it until the next fun update. We are certainly going to keep things flowing for DOOM: The Dark Ages as we get anything more for the game. It is an IP we have all been excited for over the decades and each new addition and deviation seems to build further on it all. Just be sure to come back and read all about it and watch all of the videos we are able to share too.
