Get ready for chaos: The next Doom title promises multiplayer options and embraces mods

The Most Fun Chaos is Coming

The release of DOOM: The Dark Ages, scheduled for the end of this year, has generated great anticipation among fans of the franchise. Along with this new title, the update that incorporates mod support also includes bug fixes and the ability to customize the game with new maps, weapons, and skins created by the community. This system is available on various platforms, including the Nintendo Switch, which opens the doors to a greater diversity of players and content creators.

Although the graphics and gameplay of the original releases may seem less chaotic compared to modern versions, both DOOM and DOOM II remain significant in the history of video games. The addition of mod support gives them new life, allowing fans to experience these classics in a renewed way, whether solo or with friends.

As the console ecosystem gets closer to that of PC in terms of mod support, it is expected that more players will be able to enjoy the sense of community. This development promises not only to rekindle interest in the original titles but also to enhance the possibilities of interaction and customization, cementing DOOM as a pillar in the evolution of video games.

The highly anticipated release of DOOM: The Dark Ages is set for May 15, 2024, and will be available on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, in addition to being available on Game Pass from day one. This new installment of the iconic id Software franchise has been the subject of great expectation, especially after showcasing new gameplay footage at the Xbox Developer Direct.

For the first time, without a multiplayer mode: although for good reasons

Unlike its predecessors, DOOM: The Dark Ages will not feature a multiplayer mode. According to Marty Stratton, the studio director, this decision was made to allow the team to focus on delivering a more ambitious and complete campaign experience. Stratton emphasized that the goal was to create elements like “the robot and the dragon,” which function as mini-games within the main narrative.

Regarding the game’s structure, id Software has confirmed that it will not be an open-world title, although it will feature more extensive levels than previous installments. The design will allow exploration areas, but with a more traditional structure, which will facilitate the focus on large battlefields and multiple objectives that players can tackle in any order.

Additionally, the customization system has been simplified, aiming to avoid the complexity that was present in DOOM Eternal, where the overload of skills and resources complicated the gaming experience. This approach seeks to optimize gameplay and make it more accessible for users.

Finally, regarding the future of the saga, id Software has not ruled out that DOOM: The Dark Ages could be the end of this era within the franchise. According to creative director Hugo Martin, the game “is not designed to be the end of something,” suggesting that there is still much to explore in the DOOM universe.

The narrative aims to integrate organically, providing an experience comparable to major cinematic blockbusters.

New Weapons for a New Era for the Doom Guy

One of the most notable innovations will be the inclusion of new weapons and mechanics. Among them is the Saw Shield, which combines defense and attack by allowing players to block enemy shots and return damage. This will mark a significant change in gameplay, focusing more on brute force than on aerial mobility, a return to the roots of the saga that will delight classic fans.

The game, developed by id Software, will be available on May 15, 2025, on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, and will be accessible from day one on Game Pass. Additionally, pre-orders have been opened, allowing early access to special editions.

Much has been said about the essence and the sensations that this title seeks to convey. According to creative director Hugo Martin, DOOM: The Dark Ages is designed to offer an intense experience, where players will feel like true “superweapons” in a medieval war against hell. The updates to the combat mechanics will include devastating weapons and more dynamic finishers, aiming to satisfy both enthusiastic veterans and new players.

The innovations will also include a system of accessibility options, ensuring that players of all levels can enjoy the carnage that the title will offer. Expectations are high, and the details that have been emerging promise a memorable and exciting gaming experience.

Can the best horror game of the year be a remake of a Doom mod? Everything points to yes

Total Chaos, a Doom II mod released in 2018 and considered one of the best of its kind, is in the process of being recreated as a full game. The creator, Sam Prebble, presented a trailer during The PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted event and announced that a demo will be available “very soon.” This approach to development deviates from the early access model that Prebble used with his previous game, Turbo Overkill, in order to prevent player feedback from overly influencing the original vision of the game.

Total Chaos, a Doom mod II released in 2018 and considered one of the best of its kind, is in the process of being recreated as a full game. The creator, Sam Prebble, presented a trailer during The PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted event and announced that a demo will be available “very soon”. This approach to development deviates from the early access model that Prebble used with his previous game, Turbo Overkill, in order to prevent player feedback from overly influencing the original vision of the game.

A remake with significant changes

Although the Total Chaos remake is set in the same location as the original mod, an offshore mining colony inspired by Japan’s Hashima Island, it will not be an exact recreation. Prebble has emphasized that the explorable spaces will be expanded and new areas will be introduced, allowing players to rediscover the environment while facing completely new experiences. “You’ll enter a level and say, ‘Okay, I remember this space,’ but as you progress, you’ll realize there are significant differences,” he explained.

An interesting aspect of Prebble’s story is that, despite having created one of the most acclaimed horror mods, he confesses to not having played iconic titles like Silent Hill or Resident Evil, which may influence his creative approach. “I never played them,” he stated. Despite this lack of familiarity with the horror canon, his work has proven to be innovative and ambitious, gaining recognition in the gaming community.

With the demo about to be released, expectations are high for Total Chaos. With its unique style and Prebble’s ability to craft intriguing gaming experiences, fans of the horror genre can glimpse a new adventure that promises to offer surprises and challenges.

Doom Eternal is about to explode on Steam

At id Software, they have added official support for mods and we are thrilled

Doom Eternal is one of the best shooters of the last decade, and not for nothing. Its frenetic pace, exceptional gunplay, and exquisite music make it a tough competitor. Unlike the original Doom, its popularity has been sustained exclusively by its virtues. Because if there’s one thing Doom has always stood out for, it’s its adaptability, and the number of mods it has had. Doom eternal will also reflect this soon.

One of the big announcements that QuakeCon 2024 brought us this weekend is that the PC version of Doom Eternal now has official mod support. After installing the beta patch 6.66 Rev 3, all players will be able to download and play mods through the PC Mod Preview feature, which is easily navigable through Steam. However, it is only available on the Valve platform. However, the company has confirmed that it will soon be available on the Microsoft Store as well.

If you want to try this new functionality, you will first have to activate it. To do so, go to your Steam library, then go to Doom Eternal and right-click and go to Properties. There you will have to go to Betas and select pc-mod-preview from the dropdown menu. Accept to save the selection, wait for the update to download, and you’ll be ready. And you have nothing to worry about—even though it’s the beta version, it’s a safe update that won’t pose any danger to your game or your computer.

This is great news because one thing that has kept Doom as one of the great franchises for 30 years has been its mods. The ability to modify and shape it has kept its audience interested. This has allowed its evolution and also maintained interest in creating other games in the franchise, like this Doom Eternal. We hope it has the same lifespan as the original Doom.

Meanwhile, id Software continues to work on the next installment of the franchise, named Doom: The Dark Ages. Set between the events of the first Doom and Doom Eternal, it will take us to a more mythological vision of the Doom universe. With a planned release for 2025, it will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC.

You will never believe -seriously- where they have managed to port Doom this time

Fans, not satisfied with that, have made it ubiquitous, creating playable versions on refrigerators, printers, and all sorts of devices. If it has a screen, ‘Doom’ can be played on it… and fans don’t know the meaning of “going too far.

Since its launch in 1993, Doom has appeared on literally dozens of different consoles, from Game Boy Advance to Atari Jaguar, passing through Sega Saturn and Super Nintendo. But fans, not satisfied with that, have made it appear everywhere, creating playable versions on refrigerators, printers, and all kinds of devices. If it has a screen, you can play Doom… and they don’t know the expression “going too far”.

Listen to the Doom, Doom, Doom of my heart

Aaron Christophel, youtuber and technology wizard, has managed to install the game on the screen of a male masturbator called Tifforun that, for some reason, has a screen. Of course, as soon as Christophel could, he ordered it online, opened it up completely, and installed some additional components to make magic happen and get ‘Doom’ to work on a sexual device.

And you may be wondering “How does it work?”. Well, it’s not as difficult as it seems: there were already existing buttons to move forward, backward, left and right, and another button fires the weapon. In addition, if you kill an enemy, the machine fulfills its function once. However, you will need to kill a lot of enemies to achieve the purpose for which it was created. Phew. It’s not easy to speak euphemistically about this.

This fleshlight joins a gigantic list of devices where you can play the classic by Romero and Carmack, which includes everything from toothbrushes to a lawnmower, thermostat or the original iPod. Of course, if by this point you haven’t played ‘Doom’, you can’t use the excuse of not finding it anywhere.

The new ‘Doom’ is completely different from what we imagined (and that’s great)

A lo largo de siete juegos principales (con sus correspondientes DLC) la obra de John Carmack y John Romero ha evolucionado hasta límites inimaginables. Y ahora nos lleva al lugar más sorprendente en el que jamás has matado demonios: el medievo.

You may think of Doom as the ultimate mindless shooter, but the truth is, the game has deep lore that I don’t necessarily recommend trying to get into, because it can end up hurting your head. Through seven main games (with their corresponding DLCs), the work of John Carmack and John Romero has evolved to unimaginable limits. And now it takes us to the most surprising place where you’ve never killed demons before: the Middle Ages.

Listen to the doom, doom, doom of my heart

There had been rumors for some time about the existence of ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’. And when there’s smoke, you know there’s fire, or in the case of ‘Doom’, blood. A lot of blood. In this Doom, we’ll see the beginnings of the Doom Slayer, back in the year 2025. The game will be released not only on Xbox Series X (with Game Pass), but also on PS5 and PC. We’ll all be killing demons.

As you can imagine, the trailer offers exactly what you’d expect. Shootings, extreme precision, blood, and apparently the ability to ride dragons, which, whether you like it or not, is always a bonus. Obviously, the people behind the thrills will once again be id Software, who already revolutionized the saga with ‘Doom Eternal’ and the DLCs that expanded the story even more.

Some fans are already putting on bandages before any wound has occurred, just in case the studio’s new adventure is not as glorious as the previous ones (particularly the 2016 ‘Doom’); there’s been criticism on the graphics and an alleged lack of imagination in the weaponry. Honestly, this new ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ promises pure and unrestrained fun. Sometimes you just have to go with the flow.

A medieval ‘Doom’? The game that hasn’t been announced yet and that you didn’t know you needed

Now, at last, the moment to stop waiting has arrived, because next month ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ will finally be announced. And it is going to be spectacular.

We all know ‘Doom’. You can play it even on printers and refrigerators with a screen. It is the ultimate FPS, and its leap to the latest generation of games brought us two amazing games that left us eagerly waiting for the next one. And now, finally, the moment to stop waiting has arrived, because next month ‘Doom: the dark ages’ will be announced. And it’s going to be spectacular.

We are Doomed!

Do you know when a series, a movie or a video game comes out that you had no idea you needed with all your soul? That’s the case with this new ‘Doom’ that will be set in the Middle Ages as, probably, a prequel to the rest of the saga. It’s the worst kept secret in the industry right now, but it is known that we will have a full trailer on June 9th, at the Xbox game presentation.

As far as we know, ‘Doom: the dark ages’ has been in development for four years and in the end it is one of the most powerful franchises of Bethesda. However, this does not mean that it will only be released for PC and Xbox: apparently, Microsoft has had to kneel down and allow PS5 to release it as well, although it is not clear if it will be at the same launch or within a window of time.

We do know that it will arrive on Game Pass, Microsoft’s service that they have to think very carefully about for the new generation. And yes, it’s possible that you’ve heard of it, except that in the past it was called ‘Year zero’, a name that further increases the possibilities that it is the origin story of the Doomslayer. More than three decades have passed and, in some way, the saga continues to stand firm and always innovative. Not all of them achieve it, that’s for sure.

Could a new Doom be in development? Everything points to yes

It’s possible that a new Doom will be announced soon, as there have been several leaks and comments from journalists pointing in that direction.

Few games are as beloved as Doom. In addition to practically inventing FPS and bringing video games into 3D in a way that was previously unthinkable, it has been one of the games that has had the most influence in the industry. Something they have managed to repeat in Doom (2015) and in Doom Eternal. That’s why the possibility of a new Doom is always received with interest. And it seems that it is something we could have in the near future.

Recently, a project named IDKFA has been registered in the US, a well-known codename for the Doom game series. All of this adds up to Bethesda’s registration of a new Doom game in January. Additionally, last year, in the documents presented during the lawsuit between Activision Blizzard and the FTC, a game named Doom: Year Zero was mentioned to be released in 2024.

To round out the matter, Tom Warren, journalist from The Verge, hinted last week that the announcement of a new Doom would come at the June Xbox event. Something that would fit with all the information we have so far.

Although we don’t have information about who is developing the game, it is most likely being done by id Software, the studio that created the franchise in the first place. So, if it is finally confirmed, we will still have to wait a month to see the game materialize. To approach the Microsoft event with a Doom on the horizon, even with everything that has happened during the past week, gives us some hope.
