According to a slip-up by Gamekult, the game is set to launch on Xbox Series X|S around mid-May 2025, with expectations that it will also be available on other platforms around the same time.

This latest installment in the legendary DOOM franchise will reportedly be a multiplatform release, continuing the trend of bringing major DOOM games to various systems, including the Nintendo Switch. While no official word has been given regarding its availability on the rumored Switch 2, the timing is intriguing, as it would fall within the launch window of Nintendo’s next-generation console.

"DOOM: The Dark Ages" promises to be a medieval-inspired prequel to the wildly successful DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal. Players will delve into the dark origins of the DOOM Slayer’s infamous rage, providing a fresh narrative perspective in a universe already rich with lore.

For those who want to catch up before the release, both DOOM titles are currently available on the Nintendo Switch eShop, often at discounted prices.
