Nvidia's recent hardware and software showcase unveiled a new 12-second teaser for the highly anticipated Doom: The Dark Ages. This glimpse showcases the game's diverse environments and features the iconic Doom Slayer, wielding a new shield.
The upcoming title, slated for release on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC in 2025, is confirmed to be enhanced with DLSS 4. Building on the success of the 2016 Doom reboot, Doom: The Dark Ages promises to deliver an evolution of the franchise's signature brutal combat within visually stunning, varied landscapes – ranging from opulent corridors to desolate, cratered wastelands.
The teaser, part of Nvidia's ray tracing demonstration, doesn't feature combat but emphasizes the game's level design. Nvidia's blog post confirms the game's development using the latest idTech engine and highlights ray reconstruction capabilities on the new RTX 50 series. This suggests a significant visual leap for the franchise.
The showcase also featured other titles like CD Projekt Red's Witcher sequel and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, both praised for their visual fidelity. This aligns with Nvidia's focus on pushing visual boundaries with its new GeForce RTX 50 series.
While a precise release date remains unannounced, Doom: The Dark Ages is expected to launch sometime in 2025. Further details regarding the story, enemies, and combat are anticipated as the year progresses.
