Doom: The Dark Ages has just dropped a new story trailer, giving fans a fascinating glimpse into its narrative. Released by Bethesda, the trailer emphasizes the game’s storyline while incorporating some interesting action sequences towards the end.
The team at id Software has described this title as a single-player experience with no multiplayer features. They aim to focus heavily on storytelling, promising it will be their “best yet.” Set between the events of Doom 64 and its 2016 reboot, fans can expect rich lore intertwined with classic gameplay.
You can check out the trailer below or view it directly on the official Bethesda YouTube channel.
The conclusion of Doom 64 sees our protagonist, known initially as the Marine, choosing to remain in Hell to prevent further demonic invasions. Fast-forward to Doom (2016), where he awakens as the Slayer, escaping from a sarcophagus and unleashing fury upon unsuspecting demons.
This begs interesting questions about how this transition occurred. Could Doom: The Dark Ages unravel how the Marine escaped Hell and transformed into the iconic Slayer? This tale may set up an essential backstory that leads to the events of Doom (2016).
“In this third installment of the current Doom series, players will step into the blood-stained boots of the Doom Slayer in this never-before-seen dark and sinister medieval war against Hell,” reads part of its description.
