As the June sun cast its light upon the virtual landscapes, Microsoft unveiled a gem known as Doom: The Dark Ages. A refreshing twist on a beloved first-person shooter series, this medieval incarnation is a sight to behold. Scheduled to grace our screens in the year 2025, it will beckon players to embark on a thrilling journey across PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5. The gates of Xbox Game Pass shall also open wide to welcome this epic installment.
In this prequel adventure, the Doomslayer emerges clad in a garb adorned with animal fur and spikes, a formidable sight to behold. Armed with his signature shotgun, he stands ready to vanquish demons lurking in the shadows. But lo and behold, a new addition to his arsenal takes center stage – a shield imbued with blades, akin to a menacing chainsaw. Behold as he hurls this shield with the precision of a warrior, reminiscent of the legendary Captain America. And tales speak of a momentous feat, where the Doomslayer mounts a dragon, a spectacle that truly embraces the fantasy elements woven into this game.
A twist of fate intertwines the destinies of Microsoft and PlayStation, as Doom: The Dark Ages extends its reach beyond the Microsoft realm to embrace the players on PlayStation. Once tethered to Bethesda’s fold in the year 2020, id Software, the masterminds behind the Doom series, now find themselves under Microsoft’s wing. Yet history echoes with a familiar tune, as both Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal graced multiple platforms in their prime. Seemingly, Microsoft remains true to this legacy, offering a consistent experience across the gaming landscape.
