The realm of gaming is constantly advancing, and alongside it comes exciting new adventures set in the rich tapestry of medieval realms. The latest addition to the franchise opens up possibilities for further exploration of its captivating theme.

While there is flexibility in the storyline, like many prequels, Doom: The Dark Ages must eventually connect with the events of the 2016 title, which featured the protagonist’s dramatic return after a devastating loss. Nevertheless, the current installment seems to avoid reaching that destination entirely, aiming to maintain narrative freedom for future projects.

In discussions about this creative direction, the game director highlighted the importance of preserving storytelling potential. He expressed that concluding the medieval segment of this saga too soon would limit opportunities for further tales within this compelling setting.

Although a comprehensive new medieval adventure may not be on the horizon, downloadable content is in development. Fans eager for more ancient-inspired gameplay can rest assured that the journey isn't over yet.

Doom: The Dark Ages is poised to make its debut on the 15th of May for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and personal computers, marking an exciting new chapter for enthusiasts of the series.
