NVIDIA Unveils DOOM: The Dark Ages Gameplay

Nvidia showcases new Doom: The Dark Ages gameplay. A brief, 12-second teaser highlights the game's diverse environments and features the iconic Doom Slayer wielding a new shield. Launching in 2025 for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, Doom: The Dark Ages will leverage DLSS 4 and the latest idTech engine, promising stunning visuals, especially on the new RTX 50 series.

The recently released footage offers a glimpse into the game's varied locales, ranging from opulent corridors to barren craters. While combat isn't explicitly shown, the visuals suggest a continuation of the franchise's signature intense action. Nvidia's announcement confirms ray reconstruction support on RTX 50 series hardware, hinting at a visually impressive experience.

Doom: The Dark Ages, revealed at last year's Xbox Games Showcase, builds upon the successful reboot series that began in 2016. It promises to maintain the series' focus on visceral combat while enhancing the visual presentation of its worlds. The game's precise release date remains unannounced, but more details on the story, enemies, and combat are expected as 2025 progresses. The showcase also featured other titles like the next Witcher game and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, further highlighting the advancements in visual fidelity enabled by Nvidia's new hardware.
