Doom: The Dark Ages Release Date Set for Mid-May Launch

So far, the only info we got about Doom: The Dark Ages is the meager trailer that was shown off last year. More details about the game are expected to come out at Xbox’s Developer Direct on January 23. In the meantime, a sharp-eyed user on Resetera found some intriguing details regarding the new Doom title.

Possible Release Date

A now-removed post from a French source mentioned that Doom: The Dark Ages is set to be released on May 15, 2015. This is just over five years since Doom Eternal’s release, and it seems like a reasonable time frame. We only have to wait one more day to get the confirmation. It’s fair to think that Doom: The Dark Ages will utilize some version of id Tech 7, the same engine that’s behind Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

Hardware Requirements

Whether it will include ray tracing features like the latter game is still uncertain, but Doom: The Dark Ages will definitely require some powerful hardware, especially for higher resolutions. Luckily, new graphics cards from Nvidia and AMD should become available around that time. However, it’s worth noting that Doom Eternal was one of the most well-optimized games during its release period, so there’s no reason to believe that its sequel won’t maintain that standard.
