Doom: The Dark Agesrepresents the third installment since the reboot of the iconic series back in 2016. I know, I know. Game #3 can be a tricky one to pull off. However, bothDoomandDoom Eternalwere pretty stonkin’ shooters, breathing new life into id Software’s classics while maintaining the original spirit.
Now, we know the new game is coming in 2025, at least according to the release info onSteam, but we have yet to have a full date. However, according to a recent leak, we could be seeingDoom: The Dark Agesmelting our collective faces off come May 15.
The information has been shared by user Alexzan over onResetera(also reported byEurogamer), which comes from the French website Gamekult. The words used in the original article say the game “will decimate the infernal legions on June 10, 2025” (as translatedGoogle).
Déchirez et déchirez!
It should be pointed out that the leaked release date, as noted byGamekult, has since been taken down, but the screenshot Alexzan took remains.As such, we should temper expectations on what we’ve been presented with. However, it is interesting to note that the Doom reboot did launch in May of 2016, while Eternal was released in March of its respective year.
Also, this leaked information comes just one day before the Xbox Developer Direct showcase. The Microsoft-led event is set to take place tomorrow, January 23, at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm GMT. We also do know that of the games being featured,Doom: The Dark Ageswill be one of them.
Does this mean Bethesda/id Software will officially tell us when we can expect it? It’s a possibility. It also seems possible that Gamekult could be correct about the leaked information, whether it was intended or not. Sure enough, we’ll know within the next 24 hours or so.
