DOOM: The Dark Ages To Be Announced This June, According To New ‘Exclusive’

The next installment in the DOOM first-person shooter series is expected to be revealed during the Xbox Games Showcase in June.

According to Tom Henderson of Insider Gaming, this new entry will be officially titled “DOOM: Dark Ages‘ (formerly named ‘Year Zero’) and is considered a “medieval-inspired” game.

Here’s exactly what he had to say:

“Last year, I heard the first details of the next entry in the DOOM franchise, which was described to me as a “medieval-inspired doom world.” Although that doesn’t necessarily give a lot of information about the sequel, “Year Zero”, “Dark Ages” and “Medieval Inspiration” begins to paint a vivid picture of where the series could be headed. life of the Doomslayer in medieval times?

Some are also claiming that the title will be a “cross-platform” release, and Windows Central’s Jez Corden corroborated the report – mentioning that the new game is also “planned for Playstation.”

While there’s no specific mention of a Nintendo release, the Switch has received every major DOOM entry, including “impossible ports” of the latest titles and DLC.

In other words, if this rumored title is on its way to multiple other platforms in the future, there’s a chance it could end up on Nintendo’s next-gen hardware.

Nintendo has said it will share an announcement about the Switch’s successor this fiscal year.
