Xbox has revealed Doom: The Dark Ages, the third installment in developer ID Software’s modern Doom reboot. And, as the name suggests, it brings Doomguy to a more medieval setting. Revealed during today’s Xbox Games Showcase, The Dark Ages sees the infamous demon defeater shoot and blast his way through a world seemingly inspired by medieval scenery. It will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC (and Xbox and PC Game Pass) sometime next year.
Fret not, though. It’s still very much Doom, with plenty of weapons, demons from hell, some fantastic metal music, and a ton of gory first-person shooter action.
Check it out for yourself in the Doom: The Dark Ages reveal trailer below:
As you can see from the trailer above, Doom: The Dark Ages is a visual departure from the rest of the series. The scenery, weaponry, and even the enemies look significantly more medieval than anything else seen in the Doom series. There even appears to be a rideable dragon, too.
