It has been claimed that a game called Doom: The Dark Ages may be introduced at the Xbox Games Showcase event, which will be held a few weeks later. Insider-Gaming‘s Tom Henderson says that the new Doom game will take place in a medieval-inspired apocalypse world.
News of a new Doom first appeared in 2023, when leaked documents from the court battle between the FTC and Microsoft revealed several projects planned by Bethesda and its studios. This is how it emerged. Documents revealed that, in addition to projects such as remasters of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Fallout 3, a new Doom game called “Year Zero” is being developed at id Software in 2020. Insider-Gaming says that Doom: The Dark Ages was developed during this period, and it is stated that the development in the last four years is in accordance with the timeline.
The medieval setting could be a prequel experience to 2016’s Doom and 2020’s Doom Eternal, and it tells the story of the Doom Slayer about his first encounters with demons and angels. It is thought that he can explain it.
Xbox Games Showcase will start on June 9 with the screening of new games from Xbox, Bethesda and Activision Blizzard studios.
