DOOM The Dark Ages releases its second trailer showcasing an epic savage fight with hell in medieval times. Look at what’s new in weapons, gameplay mechanics, new trailers, and more in pre-order info updates.
🧠 DOOM Slayer Returns…. To the Past
DOOM The Dark Ages has finally released its second official trailer, which—judging by the over-the-top, gory violence exuded in it—hints that the franchise fans love so dearly are going to be more than satisfied.
The trailer was published by Bethesda Softworks and developed by id Software. This first-person shooter is set to be a prequel to 2016’s DOOM and DOOM Eternal. This time, a blood and fury-filled DOOM Slayer is slashing through demonic realms in a dark medieval fantasy setting, which I presume would be the most savage and visually stacked raw cinematic DOOM installment.
