Time to bring out and dust off those shotguns from your shelves because the prequel to the critically acclaimed DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal is coming in 2025 as shown during the Xbox Games Showcase. DOOM: The Dark Ages features a medieval theme with even dragon riding in it.

Shield throwing is now a thing in DOOM: The Dark Ages. It even has chainsaw blades on the outside that players can shred enemies with. Time to become your very own Captain America. Did I mention there is blocking as well? Survivability is higher now with this newly added mechanic.

The shotgun has been an iconic weapon in DOOM but they took it a step further. There’s now a gun that can grind the skulls of enemies and use them as bullets. Now that’s metal.

When DOOM: Eternal first released in March 2020, 3 million copies were sold. Beating its predecessor by a huge margin with DOOM (2016) selling approximately 957,000 units at launch. We can hope to see the beloved DOOM series’ latest entry garner the same excitement as DOOM: Eternal back then.

Bethesda has announced that The Elder Scrolls VI is now in a playable state during the 30th anniversary of the series. In 2018, a teaser trailer was shown during E3, 7 years after Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was released.
