The legendary Doom Slayer is trading sci-fi corridors for a medieval battlefield in ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’, launching on May 15, 2025, for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series consoles.
Developed by ID Software and published by Bethesda, this latest installment shifts the franchise’s signature demon-slaying action to a world filled with castles, dragons, and brutal medieval weaponry.
What’s New in Doom: The Dark Ages
Unlike its predecessor, Doom: The Dark Ages reimagines the Doom Slayer as a knight-like warrior, wielding a Shield Saw alongside his iconic Super Shotgun. Players will join the Night Sentinels of Argent D’Nur to battle the demonic hordes in what’s being called the franchise’s most ambitious entry yet.
For dedicated fans, Bethesda and Microsoft have unveiled a Collector’s Edition Bundle, priced at $199.99. This premium package includes:
- A 12-inch Doom Slayer statue in medieval armor
- A SteelBook Case with hellish rune designs
- A replica Red Key Card
- Campaign DLC & Divinity Skin Pack
- Up to 2 days of early access before launch
Xbox players will be pleased to know that Doom: The Dark Ages will be available day one on Xbox Game Pass which makes it accessible to subscribers without an extra purchase. Meanwhile, pre-orders of any edition will grant the exclusive Void Doom Slayer skin at launch.
With its fresh medieval setting and brutal action, the game is shaping up to be a bold new chapter in the legendary franchise.
