The gaming community is buzzing with excitement as reports surface regarding the next installment in the acclaimed first-person shooter series, DOOM. According to Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson, the upcoming game is said to be titled ‘DOOM: The Dark Ages’, previously known as ‘Year Zero’, and will have a medieval theme. This revelation has sparked intrigue and curiosity among fans, who are eager to uncover what this new direction could mean for the beloved franchise.
Henderson’s insight into the game being described as a “medieval-inspired doom world” has left many wondering about the potential storyline and gameplay mechanics. Could we be delving into the early life of the iconic Doomslayer during medieval times? The mention of ‘Year Zero’, ‘The Dark Ages’, and ‘medieval inspired’ has set the stage for a fresh and possibly unexpected narrative that could redefine the DOOM universe as we know it.
In addition to the intriguing theme of ‘DOOM: The Dark Ages’, there are reports suggesting that the game will see a multiplatform release. Windows Central’s Jez Corden has lent credibility to these claims by mentioning that the new title is “slated for Playstation”, hinting at a wider reach for the upcoming game. While there has been no confirmation of a Nintendo release, past experiences have shown that the Switch has received all major DOOM entries, making it a strong contender for hosting ‘DOOM: The Dark Ages’ as well.
With Nintendo teasing an announcement about the successor to the Switch within this fiscal year, speculations are rife about the possibility of ‘DOOM: The Dark Ages’ making its way to the next-generation hardware. The Switch has proven to be a versatile platform for DOOM titles, even accommodating “impossible ports” of the latest games and DLC. If the rumored multiplatform release comes to fruition, there is a chance that Nintendo’s future console could be included in the lineup, offering fans a new way to experience the iconic series.
The anticipation surrounding ‘DOOM: The Dark Ages’ is at an all-time high, with fans eagerly awaiting further details and an official announcement from Xbox’s games showcase. The combination of a medieval-inspired theme, hints of a deep narrative, and the possibility of a multiplatform release has set the stage for what could be a groundbreaking entry in the DOOM franchise.
