#doom #doomthedarkages #xbox
Doom: The Dark Ages is a 2025 first-person shooter game developed by id Software and published by Bethesda Softworks. It is the eighth main entry in the Doom franchise and the third installment of the modern series, succeeding Doom Eternal (2020). The game is set many years prior to Doom (2016) and follows the Doom Slayer's efforts to save humanity during a war against Hell.
id Software began work on The Dark Ages following the completion of Doom Eternal's post-launch campaign The Ancient Gods in 2021, entering full production by August 2022. The game was announced in June 2024.
Doom: The Dark Ages was released on PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on May 15, 2025, with it also being included as a day one launch for Xbox Game Pass subscribers.
Critics have given the game "generally favorable" reviews, according to Metacritic. OpenCritic has also rated it as "Mighty," which signifies it ranks within the top 10% of game ratings on their platform.
Doom: The Dark Ages is a prequel to Doom (2016) that follows the rise of the series' protagonist, the Doom Slayer, as he becomes the last hope of a kingdom fighting against the forces of Hell in a techno-medieval setting.
Long before Hell's invasions of both Mars and Earth, the Night Sentinels of Argent D'Nur and their allies the Maykrs are locked in a ferocious war with the forces of Hell, who seek the Heart of Argent. The Doom Slayer, who has been empowered by the Maykrs, is deployed to help turn the tide in favor of humanity. However, the Slayer does not fight completely of his own free will, as his master Kreed Maykr suppresses his mind with a device called the Tether. Meanwhile, the leader of Hell's forces, Prince Ahzrak, realizes that it is not worth attempting to fight the Slayer directly and focuses his efforts on finding the Heart.
Ahzrak finally finds the hiding place of the Heart and assaults it, but working together, the Slayer and King Novik are able to thwart Ahzrak and keep the Heart out of his hands. However, Novik decides to keep the Heart with himself, not fully trusting the Slayer or the Maykrs. Ahzrak then leads a counterattack to surround and destroy the Sentinel forces before they can escape. Kreed refuses to deploy the Slayer to help them, intending to keep himself protected. Unwilling to see innocents slaughtered by demons, the Slayer is able to break free of the Tether's control over him, forcing Kreed to send him back into battle, where he successfully holds off the demons long enough for the Sentinels to escape. Ahzrak is able to steal the Heart from Novik but is enraged to find it empty and useless. Having been thwarted again, Ahzrak offers to make an alliance to Kreed, who himself has come to fear the Slayer turning on him. Meanwhile, the Slayer attempts to remove the Tether from his armor with little success, and Commander Thira tasks him with finding the Heart's power source before Ahzrak does.
Thira invokes an ancient ritual to empower the Slayer's shield, and he moves to assault Ahzrak's fortress in Hell. Meanwhile, Kreed betrays the Sentinels by sending a recording of Thira's ritual to Ahzrak, who realizes that Thira is actually the Heart's power source, and he orders her to be captured alive. Failing to find Ahzrak, the Slayer returns to Argent D'Nur only to see Thira and Kreed be captured by demons. In order to follow them, the Slayer reawakens an ancient Old One and follows it back to its homeworld. However, Kreed betrays the Slayer and Ahzrak is able to overpower and subdue him. Ahzrak reveals Thira houses the soul of a Wraith, and extracts it to power the Heart. Instead of following Kreed's advice to kill the Slayer since the latter cannot permanently die, Ahzrak instead leaves him imprisoned while he leads the final assault against the Sentinels.
