Bethesda and id Software have just dropped the adrenaline-pumping launch trailer, setting the stage for an epic single-player FPS adventure.

The Dark Origins of the Doom Slayer

This game serves as a riveting prequel to the highly praised DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal. Prepare to dive into the cinematic backstory of the legendary Doom Slayer as he battles his way through a dark, medieval war against Hell itself.

A Medieval Battlefield Awaits You

Step into the blood-soaked armor of the Doom Slayer and unleash wave after wave of destruction! You'll encounter iconic weapons like the Super Shotgun and brand-new bone-crushing tools such as the Shield Saw. Engage in the fierce combat that the DOOM series is renowned for, and take to the skies on a ferocious Mecha Dragon or dominate foes in a towering Atlan mech.

Fight the Forces of Hell Like Never Before!

Get ready to experience a deeper glory kill system, allowing you to dispatch demons in grotesque and satisfying ways. As the Slayer, you'll confront the demon hordes aiming to obliterate you, all while you gain power and unleash fury across never-before-seen realms.

Exploration and Adventure Await!

Prepare to brave the shadows of ruined castles, eerie forests, and ancient hellscapes filled with mysteries, challenges, and epic loot! Your journey promises to be as thrilling as the battles themselves.

Console and Availability Details

DOOM: The Dark Ages will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam. Plus, subscribers can get it on Xbox Game Pass!

What’s Brewing with Deathgasm?

And there's more gaming news! Jason Lei Howden's cult classic, Deathgasm, is getting an exciting update with not just a video game adaptation but also a graphic novel. Fans can look forward to a retro-style 16-bit sidescroller for PlayStation 5 and an 80-page graphic novel that acts as a prelude to the upcoming sequel, Deathgasm 2: Goremageddon.

Join the Fight Against Hell’s Horrors!

Engage in a wild ride as Brodie, Zakk, or Medina through nine levels packed with Dante-esque madness and demonic threats, all while harnessing a bizarre arsenal—from chainsaws to ludicrously inappropriate weapons.

More Than Just a Game!

The graphic novel will also boast cameos from heavy metal icons, bringing the world of Deathgasm even closer to fans. With a narrative so outrageous it couldn't possibly make it to the screen without being toned down, Howden is thrilled to share this visually extravagant story in graphic form.

Exciting Times Ahead!

Both the graphic novel and video game will be launched on Kickstarter soon, so stay tuned! Meanwhile, keep your eyes peeled for the post-production release of Deathgasm 2: Goremageddon. Get ready for a thrilling mix of gory adventure and unforgettable action!
