DOOM: The Dark Ages

The Origin of Your Rage DOOM: The Dark Ages is the epic cinematic origin story of the Doom Slayer’s legend. Set many years before the 2016 reboot, you step into the blood-stained boots of the Slayer during a dark and sinister medieval war against Hell. Powered by the latest idTech 8 engine, this entry delivers a darker, grittier atmosphere while introducing massive mechanical warfare.

Key Features:
Grounded Medieval Combat: Unlike the high-flying dashes of DOOM Eternal, combat here is more weighted and strategic. You are a walking tank, crushing demons with a mix of brutal melee and high-caliber firearms.

The Shield Saw: A game-changing new tool. Use it to block incoming projectiles, parry enemy attacks, or toss it into a crowd like a lethal, motor-powered boomerang to shred multiple foes at once.

Bone-Chewing Weaponry: Alongside classics like the Super Shotgun, use new "old-world" weapons like the Skull Crusher (which grinds demon skulls into shrapnel) and various maces and flails.

Titanic Vehicles: For the first time, pilot a 30-story Atlan mech to punch colossal demons to pulp, or take to the skies on the back of a cybernetic Mecha Dragon.

Largest World Yet: Explore id Software’s most expansive levels, featuring ruined castles, haunted forests, and ancient hellscapes that tell the story of the Night Sentinels and the Slayer’s rise
