Doom: The Dark Ages Delves Into Single-Player Depths, Launching May 15
Get ready to rip and tear, Slayer. Doom: The Dark Ages is set to incinerate expectations with a single-player focused campaign launching exclusively on May 15, 2025.
The newest entry in the iconic FPS franchise will be available on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC, with a day-one release on Xbox Game Pass. Those eager to jump into the hellish fray before anyone else can pre-order the Collector’s Bundle for up to two days of early access.
Whispers have hinted at a potential release on a rumored Nintendo Switch 2 console, but nothing concrete has been confirmed by Microsoft.
Id Software broke from tradition, ditching multiplayer to craft the most ambitious and polished single-player experience yet. "Early on, we chose to prioritize the campaign to make it our most ambitious and polished yet," explains executive producer Marty Stratton. "It’s been awesome to have the team dedicated solely to this goal."
Game director Hugo Martin echoes this sentiment, highlighting the bold choices made possible by the single-player focus. "This focus has allowed us to include items like our dragon ride and Atlan mech piloting sections. We’ve been dreaming of adding these to the game for years, but with multiplayer elsewhere, we couldn’t make it work until now.”
