Sure enough, id Software’s next game marks another outing for the beloved Doom Slayer. The protagonist is back to hunt demons and send them to their graves, with the developers taking fans to a medieval setting this time.

Doom: The Dark Ages is quite a different type of game compared to Eternal. However, it brings id Software’s signature style to the table.

Fans can expect to rip and tear plenty of demons as they go through the ultimate power fantasy. The studio is also likely to release another highly optimized game due to a long history of pushing visual fidelity while maintaining a high benchmark for performance.

Like every other huge Xbox Game Studios title, Doom: The Dark Ages will also be available on Game Pass from the beginning.
