Kicking off this evening’s Xbox showcase, we got a look at Doom: The Dark Ages, and oh my days, it looks awesome.
“Before he became a hero,” the video begins, “he was the super weapon of gods and kings.” And what a super weapon he was. But, don’t let me tell you. You can check out Doom: The Dark Ages’ reveal trailer for yourself below.
Doom: The Dark Ages will serve as a prequel to 2016’s Doom and Doom Eternal. It is described as a single-player action FPS that “tells the epic cinematic origin story of the Doom Slayer’s rage”, and of course, it is being developed by id Software.
That was a surprisingly good game.
Sometimes it can be really fun when developers take an existing IP and completely flip the script on it. For example, when most people thjnk about Metal Gear, they think about sneaky stealth missions in real time. And yet there’s also an actual turn-based card battler in the series. Two of them in fact: Metal Gear Acid 1 & w. Came out the serie era as Doom RPG.
