The next Doom game is apparently called The Dark Ages and will go all Army of Darkness in a medieval world

Game formerly codenamed Year Zero is reportedly due to be revealed next week

The nextDoomgame - the first new instalment in over four years, afterDoom Eternal- is reportedly taking a leaf out of Evil Dead: Army of Darkness’ necronomicon by transporting the Doom Slayer back to a medieval world to presumably battle hellspawn. According to a new report, it’s subtitled The Dark Ages and we’ll get an official reveal next week.

Insider Gaming claim that The Dark Ages - as the name implies - will be set in a “medieval-inspired Doom world”. Beyond that, we currently know very little - but I do like the idea of the Doom Slayer clashing his Crucible blade against the swords and armour of medieval minions. Of, y’know, ripping and tearing through them with a whole load of guns.

Rumours of a new Doom game have been swirling recently, afterZenimax registered a trademark for “IDKFA”- harking back to classic Doom cheat codes - and multiple outlets includingEurogamerandThe Vergereported that a nuDoom would appear during the Xbox Games Showcase at this year’s Summer Geoff Fest, which this latest report claims to have verified. That means we should see and hear more in just under two weeks, on Sunday June 9th.
