Nvidia's recent hardware and software showcase unveiled a fresh 12-second teaser for the highly anticipated Doom: The Dark Ages. This glimpse showcases the game's diverse environments and the iconic Doom Slayer, equipped with a new shield. Scheduled for release in 2025 on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, Doom: The Dark Ages is confirmed to be enhanced with DLSS 4.
The teaser, a brief but impactful visual spectacle, highlights the game's varied level design, ranging from opulent corridors to barren craters. While combat isn't directly featured, the footage strongly suggests a continuation of the franchise's signature brutal action. Nvidia's announcement confirms the game's development utilizes the latest idTech engine and will leverage ray reconstruction on the new RTX 50 series, promising stunning visuals.
Initially announced at last year's Xbox Games Showcase, Doom: The Dark Ages follows in the footsteps of the critically acclaimed 2016 Doom reboot. Building upon the foundation of intense combat and exploration established by its predecessors, this new installment promises significant advancements in visual fidelity and environmental detail.
The Nvidia showcase also featured upcoming titles like CD Projekt Red's Witcher sequel and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, highlighting the advancements in visual technology driving the next generation of gaming. The release date for Doom: The Dark Ages remains unconfirmed, but further details regarding the storyline, enemies, and combat mechanics are expected throughout 2025.
