Doom: The Dark Ages was revealed during the Xbox Showcase at Summer Game Fest, revealing that the battle against the demons of Hell has been going on for centuries.

Doom: The Dark Ages is a prequel to 2016's Doom and Doom Eternal, and tells the story of the origins of the Slayer's wrath and his rise from a kingdom's last hope to Hell's greatest fear.

The battle will feature familiar enemies from the Doom franchise, many of which have been reimagined to fit the medieval setting, as well as brand new threats in the bestiary, so there’s plenty to slay.

Keeping with the times, Doom: The Dark Ages gives players new tools in their arsenal, including a "souped-up, throwable Shield Saw" and a Flail to accompany your trusty Super Shotgun.
