DOOM The Dark Ages Release Date, Pricing, and PC System Requirements

The long-awaited continuation of the DOOM franchise is almost upon us. Let’s see the release date, pricing, and the PC system requirements for DOOM: The Dark Ages.

DOOM: The Dark Ages is a prequel to DOOM and DOOM: Eternal, which send you back to a dark and twisted medieval world, where you will learn the origins of the fabled DOOM Slayer. The last DOOM game was released nine years ago, in 2016, so it is about time we get another one. The Dark Ages have been teased for a while now, and the player anticipation is incredibly high. This combination of over-the-top violence and stunning visuals will surely do wonders, and The Dark Ages will definitely be a contender for the best game of the year. So, when can we try it out?
