Nvidia Unveils New Gameplay Footage of Doom: The Dark Ages
Nvidia's recent hardware and software showcase offered a glimpse into the highly anticipated Doom: The Dark Ages, slated for release on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC in 2025. A 12-second teaser showcased the game's diverse environments and the iconic Doom Slayer, equipped with a new shield.
The game, announced at last year's Xbox Games Showcase, is the next installment in id Software's successful Doom reboot series. Building upon the foundation laid by the 2016 Doom title, Doom: The Dark Ages promises to deliver an enhanced brutal experience, with significant visual upgrades to its varied landscapes, ranging from opulent corridors to desolate wastelands. While the teaser doesn't display combat, it strongly hints at the series' signature intense action.
Nvidia confirmed that Doom: The Dark Ages utilizes the latest idTech engine and will leverage DLSS 4 and ray reconstruction on the new RTX 50 series GPUs for PCs and laptops, promising exceptional visual fidelity. The teaser briefly showcases the Doom Slayer navigating these diverse environments, highlighting the game's visual richness.
