Check out the new Doom: The Dark Ages trailer and join game director Hugo Martin for a deep dive into Doom: The Dark Ages’ Cosmic Realm, one of the game’s new levels. The trailer also gives us a look at a new twin-bladed enemy called the Cosmic Baron, along with lots of gory new Doom: The Dark Ages gameplay.
Doom: The Dark Ages is the prequel to Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal. In this third installment of the modern Doom series, players will step into the blood-stained boots of the Doom Slayer and take on a dark and sinister medieval war against Hell.
Doom: The Dark Ages will be released on May 15, 2025 for PS5 (PlayStation 5), Game Pass, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

I wasn’t sure at first but I like it better than eternal. I got the collectors, so I’ve been playing since Monday.
For sure someone on Id played Eviternity
Ranger and Lovecraftian monsters from Quake would look at this with Homelander's stare face, ahahah.
No, seriously. If you wanna do an FPS in Lovecraftian aesthetics, you can easily do a Quake reboot. You have resources for this, id. There's a lot of players who wait something new in this abandoned game series.
Dunno why, but Hugo and others decided to go this way. IMO, this makes DOOM even more unoriginal sci-fi/fantasy mess that looks like something AI-generated. (BTW, if you wanna see a real videogame about metal music, I recommend you Brütal Legend. It's not just skulls, dragons and chainsaws, but also a lot of references to real musicians and unironically well-done worldbuilding.)
Also, everybody can punch Cthulhu's face, but can anyone make a proper cosmic horror? Not just like scary ahh octopus man and fishmen cults, but something REALLY inspired by Lovecraft's literature. Not in terms of visual design, but in terms of sense and feeling of complete dread. This is definitely something that WILL NOT suit DOOM, in my opinion. Maybe Quake.
This game is going to seriously crank my hog!!!!!! SO EXCITED
For those unfamiliar with Lovecraft's mythology, it can be summed up as follows: the madness of a fan of Edgar Allan Poe horror books, his negative view of the world, the fact that Lovecraft is afraid of the sea, some stereotypes about cultists, and the fact that he likes The War of the Worlds (1897).
Switch I'll can't wait hell yeah I'll getting this b
Everyone talking about this
Me wondering if the mancubus is still caked up
Cant wait to watch people speedrun this game with 1000000x modifiers 😂
Who says the ranger from Quake 1 wasn’t on mission from the night Sentinels.. going through the Cosmic realm
I really hope this is the Link to a quake reboot – within the universe
Hope this means ID does something with Quake in the future since lovecraftian was always Quake's thing.
I feel like I'm watching Duke Nukem – some should re-dub this video with his voice 😀
4:20
PC players like…what?
Sounds like one hell of a time
And for the price its at how many times will you play it before you hit that uninstall button? Be honest.
I guarantee the “Mysterious voice” we hear in Doom Eternal yell “Nooooo” after the Khan Maykr dies, will be tied to the Cosmic Realm.
I say this until it comes out. PLEASE HAVE GYRO AIMING AT LAUNCH. PLEASE
are you reading this on the top of your head ?
This reminds me a bit of Miraak's realm.
Man if Lovecraft could see all the stuff he inspired he would go insane
3:09 on the left side of the screen, please fix that whatever it is……..thank you.
Couldn't you guys just make quake?
i gotta ask why didn’t they just reboot quake
Hugo sounds like Jerry Springer.
They better have metallica references in the music for cthulu like in DOOM 1
The shredder with the spread choke is awesome nd blu
Optimus prime meets doom guy
Idw Optimus prime: so you also meet Cthulhu like me.
Doom guy: 👍
in other words, this wont run on my pc..
The quake verse and the doom.verse are finally merging my Boys! We ll see the vadrigar! Im telling ya all!
Im feeling that its like serious sam, not doom
But i also love too
"why you ask?" well i imagine it's because HE is coming after them and they know their goose is cooked
I want Hugo to be my dad
I know the word BRUTAL has been used a lot, but I have no other word for the Reaver Shot.
I dont' know if I can be more sold for this game.
Why did he only say the release for PS5?
Ign will give 4
Lol Playstation ludicrous…for a game that is owned by microsoft
I was really diggin the music towards the end of the video. The gallops were nasty
Octabrain at 2:00
Doom/Quake story synergy. Finally…
is there still Executions in this Game
With a cosmic realm it also looks fantastic😎, not only the hell or somewhere else
Don't get me wrong, shields are cool, but does anyone feel like this game is going to be centered around cautious, defensive positioning instead of sprinting around the map like a high octane maniac? In Eternal, you needed to move and slay or you'd perish. This Dark Ages shield seems like it soaks a lot of damage and is an integral design to boss fights.
