The DOOM games, under their revival with the same id Software in 2016, have attracted everyone and everyone. Whether veterans or newcomers, many were attracted to this American ultraviolent madness, and although we have gone four years without a new installment, that is going to end. He next Xbox Games Showcase In just two weeks the first preview of the new DOOM gamethe one we met a year ago as Year Zero.
If you remember, last year 2023, as part of Microsoft’s massive and long-lasting trial with the FTC, several leaked documents alluded to a new installment of the saga after that successful DOOM Eternal from 2020. Although it is true that this sequel had certain problemssuch as the difficulty in selling in physical format due to COVID-19 or the cancellation of the multiplayer mode, id Software and Bethesda are not going to leave the saga fallow for long.
The new DOOM would have a more “medieval” touch
In this context, Insider Gaming has confirmed that the next game in the popular DOOM franchise will be presented during the Xbox Games Showcase, scheduled for June 9 of this year. However, the Anglo-Saxon media cites that Year Zero, as we knew it, is nothing more than its code name, and according to sources close to the development its final name will be ‘DOOM: The Dark Ages‘.
The game has been in development for at least four years, coinciding with the release of DOOM Eternal and which led its team to combine the work of its two DLCs and this new installment, and is described as a “medieval-inspired DOOM world“. This suggests that players could explore a new environmental style in the saga, leaving aside the neo-futurism of past games and possibly offering a glimpse into the origins of the iconic Doomslayer, which could indicate a prequel in the franchise narrative line.
Rumors about a new DOOM game began to intensify earlier this year, especially after Bethesda registered the trademark ‘IDKFA’, a well-known code to obtain all weapons, ammunition, 200% armor and keys. Last month, The Verge’s Tom Warren was the first to tease that DOOM would have a presence at the Xbox Games Showcase, news that has now been independently confirmed by Tom Henderson.
