Excitement is in the air as Bethesda has officially unveiled the global release times for the highly anticipated game, "Doom: The Dark Ages." Launching on multiple platforms including PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S, this new installment promises a thrilling experience for players around the world.

But hold on! If you've snagged the Premium Edition, you'll have 48 hours of early access starting today, May 12. That's right; the clock is ticking for those eager to delve into this darkly immersive world ahead of the official release.

In a twist that has many players buzzing, but not yet confirmed by Bethesda, early testers have reported that even those who bought physical copies for the PS5 will need to download the entire game before they can jump in. Talk about keeping players on their toes!
