Doom: The Dark Ages looks great so far, but the Shield Saw, one of its central mechanics, could be playing a risky game in some ways.

If you want to run this pulpy shooter on minimum settings, you need a ray-tracing-capable graphics card at the very minimum. This is the second game using id Tech 7 to do so in the last two months (though Indiana Jones and the Great Circle proved to be worth the upgrade).

A huge amount of information was recently revealed about Doom: The Dark Ages at the Xbox Developer Direct on January 23, with anticipation starting to build around the title before its May 15 release date.

The Dark Ages is slowing things down compared to the twitchy gameplay of Eternal, meaning one area of gameplay needs to shine.

When game director Hugo Martin discussed “Doom: The Dark Ages,” three images spring up over the discourse. The first is Leonidas in the “300” battling the Persians at the Hot Gates in Thermopylae. The second is another Frank Miller project “The Dark Knight Returns” and the last one is a tank.

There’s a special Collector’s Bundle up for grabs with the launch of Doom: The Dark Ages and it gives you early access.

The Standard Edition of Doom The Dark Ages launches at $69.99 and includes just the base game with a pre-order bonus Void skin. The Premium Edition costs $99.99 and packs the base game with several digital extras, including DLC, an artbook, a soundtrack, and special skins.
