DOOM: The Dark Ages Released

[Pete Dero]

DOOM: The Dark Ages is now officially available for Windows, Game Pass, GeForce NOW, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
This single-player first-person shooter introduces new weapons, a shield, and other innovations in this medieval battle against the forces of Hell.

DOOM: The Dark Ages is the prequel to the critically acclaimed DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal that tells an epic cinematic story worthy of the DOOM Slayer's legend. In this third installment of the modern DOOM series, players will step into the blood-stained boots of the DOOM Slayer, in this never-before-seen dark and sinister medieval war against Hell.

DOOM: The Dark Ages is a dark fantasy/sci-fi single-player experience that delivers the searing combat and over-the-top visuals of the incomparable DOOM franchise, powered by the latest idTech engine.

Looks pretty stupid.

I like.

From what I gather, although the game is technically a prequel to D2016 and DEt (plus their DLC expansions), it's designed to fit between those two main games: after the revelations of D2016 (which serves as a sort of continuity cavalcade remake going back to the original trilogy, though I gather D64 acts as Doom3 instead of Final Doom), DDA explains (much of) the origin of the situation, setting up plotpoints resolved in Doom Eternal (and its two expansions). But evidently the devs left some story in TDA to be resolved with expansions before synching up fully with the start of Doom 2016.

.....annnnnd now you are insane! Sorry.
