As a seasoned veteran of the DOOM universe, spanning over two decades of blood-soaked mayhem and demonic slaying, I can confidently say that DOOM: The Dark Ages has me more hyped than a Cyberdemon on coffee day. This isn’t just a prequel; it’s a chance to delve deeper into the origins of our beloved Doom Slayer, and I can hardly contain my excitement.
In terms of video game influence, few legacies can match that of DOOM. Launched in 1993, this groundbreaking shooter shaped the first-person shooter genre and, remarkably, the franchise remains vibrant today. While a direct sequel to 2020’s DOOM: Eternal isn’t forthcoming, we’re looking forward to an equally thrilling offering with the upcoming release of DOOM: The Dark Ages.
Delving deeper into history than ever before, DOOM: The Dark Ages is set during the era it’s named after, offering an “epic cinematic origin tale of the Doom Slayer’s fury.” As usual, there’s plenty of bloodshed and carnage, along with some fresh additions such as the Powerful Shield Saw.

As a dedicated fan, I couldn’t help but be captivated by the significant role that DOOM: The Dark Ages played at QuakeCon this year. id Software gave us an intriguing sneak peek into some of the exciting features we can expect. Our first glimpse of The Dark Ages was graciously shared during June’s Xbox Showcase, and the Shield Saw undeniably stood out as a highlight. It’s evident that the developers are eager for players to explore the innovative ways they can utilize this latest addition.
Apart from hurling the Shield Saw at our adversaries, similar to Captain America, QuakeCon reveals that you’ll also have the ability to pull it back as it rips through monsters and you can navigate the map with it. Although the specifics are yet to be clarified, we envision a method akin to shield surfing, much like in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
1. For melee weapon options, you have three choices: a flail, a mace, and an electrically charged fist that links enemies together. The game DOOM: The Dark Ages stands out by offering a more expansive open-world experience compared to its predecessors, appealing to those who enjoy venturing off the main path.
Alternative weapons include the nail gun which secures enemies onto walls and a double-barreled plasma gun. The enhanced Glory Kill system, alongside the Shield Saw, offers more flexibility by allowing players to choose their own animations for defeating aliens like Pinkies and Cyberdemons, adding an enjoyable personal touch.
Ultimately, the mechanical contraption showcased at the trailer’s conclusion took center stage, allowing Doomslayer to enter and engage in fierce close-quarter battles. Known for their abundance of bloodshed, DOOM series promises an unprecedented degree of gory scenes with DOOM: The Dark Ages.
