Well, it’s official. Following leaks that suggested that id Software and Bethesda’s upcoming Doom: The Dark Ages is slated for a May release, the Xbox Developer Direct event confirms that the latest entry in the Doom franchise will arrive on May 15.

Coming to Game Pass, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC, this will be yet another epic and cinematic adventure that lets players tap into the Doom Slayer’s rage and give the demon hordes hell. As the super weapon of gods and kings, players will step into the blood-stained boots of the Doom Slayer, exploring never-before-seen realms, unlocking powerful weapons of mass destruction and conquering some of the largest demons ever seen in a Doom game. 

id Software has also confirmed that this entry will not feature any multiplayer mode. It will offer a comprehensive campaign instead, which is set to be the most expansive and epic story that the developers have ever crafted. To make the game more accessible to newcomers, it will include a set of sliders to adjust the difficulty level to your liking.
