What you need to know
- Rumors have been circulating for a while that the next DOOM game from Microsoft’s ID program is on the docket for an imminent reveal.
- Now, separate reports that we can confirm indicate that the next DOOM is a prequel of sorts, dubbed DOOM: The Dark Ages.
- We can also confirm reports that DOOM: The Dark Ages is a cross-platform release for both Xbox and PlayStation.
It’s been four years since DOOM Eternal graced our screens, and id Software shows no signs of slowing down.
Today, separate reports from reliable sources in Indoor games And Nate hate It gave us a glimpse of where DOOM is headed next. We are about to reach the Middle Ages.
We can confirm Insider Gaming and Nate’s reports about DOOM: The Dark Ages. Although I didn’t have the name, multiple sources have confirmed to me over the past few weeks that DOOM is headed to the 2024 Xbox Game Show. The title of the game was DOOM: Year Zero, which was originally leaked via the Federal Trade Commission last summer, It was originally leaked through the Federal Trade Commission last summer. It appears that DOOM: The Dark Ages will serve as a prequel of sorts.
DOOM game director Hugo Martin Notice In previous streams, he wanted to slow DOOM down a bit, to make you feel like a massive monster truck rather than a deadly race car. It would fit the theme of DOOM heading into the past, before the Doom Slayer gained many of his modern powers and weapons – although the Night Sentinels are Argent Dnur They still have access to weapons and items of that kind, albeit with a traditional “Persian” touch. But perhaps the setting is before the Doom Slayer faces off against the Night Sentinels as well.

DOOM: The Dark Ages is coming to PlayStation as well
I can also confirm Nate’s report that DOOM: The Dark Ages is set to release on PlayStation as well as Xbox and Windows PC, and that will likely be announced today and date. Microsoft acquired Zenimax a few years ago, and with it the id software and DOOM IP. I mentioned in my predictions for Xbox Games Showcase 2024 that you might get a glimpse of Microsoft’s evolving cross-platform strategy at the show, and that’s partly what I was referring to. Some may lament the opportunity Microsoft had to “pull” DOOM away from PlayStation, but id Software is actually set up to build cross-platform titles in parallel. DOOM has always been on PlayStation too, and as with franchises like Fallout and Minecraft, it doesn’t make sense to arbitrarily pull it from one of the game’s largest fan bases. The company does sell games and subscriptions like Xbox Game Pass, after all. You can expect DOOM: The Dark Ages to join other DOOM games on Xbox death Bass game as well.
Naturally, you can expect the marketing for DOOM: The Dark Ages to be very heavily headed to Xbox, along with Call of Duty Black Ops 6, and several other upcoming games scheduled to be shown off at Xbox Games Showcase 2024 on June 9, 2024, some of which are It will also likely cross-platform to PlayStation as well.
