DOOM: The Dark Ages – Medieval Mayhem Meets Modern Tech on GeForce NOW and Beyond
Get ready to rip and tear in a whole new way as DOOM: The Dark Ages explodes onto the scene, blending medieval brutality with the franchise's signature sci-fi carnage. This highly anticipated prequel is not only redefining the DOOM experience but also making waves with its availability on GeForce NOW and a special Twitch drop for a unique Slayer skin.
A Medieval Twist on a Classic
Forget double jumps and futuristic dashes. DOOM: The Dark Ages plunges players into a dark fantasy world, swapping celestial sci-fi for medieval goth. As the Doom Slayer, you'll sport a fur cape, a heavily serrated shield, and spiked pauldrons. But don't worry, the impressive arsenal of weapons remains, with the addition of the bone-chewing Shield Saw, perfect for both offense and defense.
"If you were an F-22 fighter jet in Doom Eternal, this time around we wanted you to feel like an Abrams tank," says Hugo Martin, the game’s creative director, highlighting the shift towards grounded combat and strategic engagements. Expect brutal melee combat, dodges, parries, and a revamped glory kill system.
