Relatively reliable industry insider Tom Henderson has said that the next game in the DOOM franchise dubbed "The Dark Ages," previously known as "Year Zero" in documents leaked during the FTC case against Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard King, will be revealed during the Xbox Games Showcase on June 9.

Changed thread titles from Year Zero to the Dark Ages.
Bump
Uh oh, Comixbooks had better fix that stat! What a disaster! /syou forgot to put the colon ...DOOM: The Dark Ages
hopefully Bethesda doesn't listen to the small minority that hated Eternal and keeps the overall gameplay similar
I mean whatever this is clearly already isn't Eternal
It barely looks like Doom, but here we are
I'm a fan of Panzer Dragoon, not sure if I'm a fan of Panzer Dragoon in my DooM, though.
I'm a bit surprised they didn't do a new Heretic/Hexen title instead if they wanted a more Medieval setting for their next game.
Hasn't he basically been bonkers lore wise since the rebootSo Doomguy is a 'superweapon of gods' now?
Weird. Def wont be a day one buy.
Would rather see Quake 5 / Q4 sequel. Been almost 19 years since Quake 4 was released.
I'm not even sure how Quake would work in today's market because:
1. Let's be real, the meat of Quake is the MP
2. It's impossible to play Quake on the consoles like you can on PC
3. If the movement isn't Quake, there will be riots
Consoles will have baby Quake. Keyboard and mouse will be required to play big boy Quake.
You just can't move the same way on a controller, you will wind up with console moving half the speed on average. Movement is HUGE in every Quake and it just straight up doesn't map to consoles in any form. Quake 1-4 are all controller hostile.
Not for me. I was interested with the idea of a dark ages version, but this just looks like Doom in a different setting. I realize this is what some people will want, but I thought it would get more into dark ages style weapons and fantasy creatures with less guns and fireballs..
What ID needs to do us stop making the level design crisp and clear add some smoke to cloud up the level design the original had that Cthulu look to it the gotta make it blurry yo add an element of suprise. These Doom gave have draw rate from here to the rock of gilbralter. Or dark corridors and make cramped in spaces. something along the lines of Deadspace or Doom3.I'm not even sure how Quake would work in today's market because:

This could be an awesome game, but I share some initial reservations.Weird. Def wont be a day one buy.

I sure hope so. Seems like the perfect fit for the multiverse thing id are going with. It needs to go back to the Cthulhu mythos inspired setting, though, instead of retreading the Strogg. Who cares about the Strogg, Tim?Kind of surprised by this announcement, as I thought for sure a Quake remake was coming before another new Doom game. And this setting sure looks kinda like a Quake setting. Is it possible at QuakeCon in August we also get Quake game reveal?
"Before he was a hero..."
But I thought Eternal established that Doomslayer is OG Doomguy made ascendant after Doom 64. Who is this guy donning the armor? Or does this take place between 64 and 2016?
Both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S support mouse & keyboard input. It's up to the game devs to implement in the console versions of their games. Nightdive put keyboard & mouse support into the console versions of the Doom 64 remaster. But the crybabies on console will call it unfair in the optional multiplayer.
- Quake started as a single player game with multiplayer attached to it, just like Doom. There is only one dedicated multiplayer game in the series of 4 games. I don't consider Quake Champions a Quake game.
- Bullshit because the OG Quake remaster plays splendidly on my Series X with a controller. I played through the whole base game on Nightmare without an issue. I'm going to do the Quake II remaster in the near future.
- See #2. When the remaster launched there were some odd changes made to the movement, but after being patched the original movement came back.
That is like saying people only play Call of Duty for the multiplayer, and look what Activision had to do after they got rid of the single player in Black Ops IIII.I mean people don't go to Quakecon to play the SP campaign.
Has it, though? How many people still play Quake, II, or IV for the mutliplayer? How many people are still playing the modern version of Quake III Arena, Quake Live? Quake Champions? It's literally in the hundreds. All the people I've seen clamoring for a new Quake game online haven't been doing it for a multiplayer game.MP is what made the games endure.
I'm not getting my hopes up about it being released in 2025. I would be pleasantly surprised if it was, but I fully expect it to slip to 2026!Is there an approximate release date next year?
