DOOM: The Dark Ages Gets Brief Gameplay Tease From NVIDIA

Nvidia showcases new Doom: The Dark Ages gameplay

Nvidia's recent hardware and software showcase unveiled a brief glimpse of Doom: The Dark Ages, a highly anticipated 2025 release. The 12-second teaser highlights the game's diverse environments and features the iconic Doom Slayer, equipped with a new shield.

This latest installment in id Software's successful Doom reboot series (following the 2016 title) promises to build upon the franchise's legacy of intense combat. While the teaser doesn't show combat directly, it showcases a variety of locations, from opulent corridors to barren landscapes. Nvidia confirmed the game will utilize the latest idTech engine and incorporate DLSS 4 enhancement, ensuring a visually stunning experience, especially on the new RTX 50 series PCs and laptops with ray reconstruction.

The teaser follows the game's announcement at last year's Xbox Games Showcase. Doom: The Dark Ages aims to elevate the "boomer shooter" genre with next-generation visuals and even more brutal combat encounters.

Beyond Doom: The Dark Ages, Nvidia's showcase also featured CD Projekt Red's upcoming Witcher sequel and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, both praised for their visual fidelity. The showcase precedes the launch of Nvidia's GeForce RTX 50 series, which is expected to further enhance graphical capabilities for future game development.

Doom: The Dark Ages is slated for release on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC in 2025, though a precise release date remains unannounced. Further details regarding the game's narrative, enemies, and combat mechanics are anticipated as 2025 progresses.
