DOOM: The Dark Ages, launching May 15th, aims for maximum accessibility. Unlike previous id Software titles, it boasts extensive customization options, a key focus for executive producer Marty Stratton. This includes adjusting enemy difficulty, damage output, projectile speed, player damage, and even pacing elements like aggression and parry timing.

Stratton confirmed that the narrative of DOOM: The Dark Ages stands alone, requiring no prior DOOM: Eternal experience.

The game, powered by the idTech8 engine, promises stunning visuals and performance. Ray tracing enhances the brutal action with realistic shadows and dynamic lighting. Minimum, recommended, and ultra settings have been pre-released to ensure players are prepared for launch. The Slayer's journey into the dark ages is poised to redefine the DOOM experience.
