id Software's upcoming Doom prequel, Doom: The Dark Ages, is set to launch on May 15th for PS5, Xbox, and PC. The game offers a medieval fantasy setting and a new gameplay emphasis on brutal melee combat with weapons like spiked maces and iron flails. Players can also ride a cybernetic dragon and pilot a skyscraper-sized mech suit for battling massive enemies. The game will feature a larger world and more story elements, including cutscenes, and provide accessibility options through gameplay sliders to customize the experience.
After revealing its next Doom game last summer, id Software is almost ready to release it: the studio announced that Doom : The Dark Ages is launching on May 15th. The news came as part of Xbox’s most recent Developer Direct livestream, which provided the best look yet at the prequel. As the name implies, The Dark Ages is set in a medieval fantasy realm and takes place long before the events of Doom Eternal and the franchise’s 2016 reboot.
Since this is a Doom set in medieval times, that means players will get access to brutal new melee weapons like a spiked mace and iron flail. The scale of battles also seems to have ramped up. We already knew that players would get a mount in the form of a cybernetic dragon, but today’s reveal also showed off a skyscraper-sized mech suit so that the Doomslayer can fight enemies the size of kaiju. Another big change is a greater emphasis on accessibility through a series of gameplay sliders.
