Game Overview:
DOOM: The Dark Ages is a first-person shooter developed by id Software and pubished by Bethesda Softworks.
It’s the eighth mainline instalment in the franchise, and serves as a prequel to 2016’s DOOM.
DOOM: The Dark Ages creative director Hugo Martin talks about combat, demons, and the chainsaw shield.
The Doom Slayer ventures through a medieval world, armed with a double-barreled shotgun, shield and flail to smite demons.
A prominent leaker has claimed that the rumoured new DOOM game will be announced at the Xbox Games Showcase as a fully multiplatform title.
Developed for almost four years under the placeholder name "DOOM Year Zero," it allegedly occurs in a "medieval-inspired Doom world."
This comes shortly after Microsoft's FTC court case documents revealed a project named DOOM Year Zero being in the works at id Software.
Microsoft has officially confirmed that four (currently unspecified) games will be coming to rival platforms, but more could also be in consideration.
A document from Microsoft's trial with the FTC reveals several unannounced projects, including a sequel to Ghostwire: Tokyo.
