Doom: The Dark Ages – all editions, pre-order bonus, and PC requirements
Bethesda/id Software

One of the most iconic shooter series of all time is returning soon with Doom: The Dark Ages — and pre-orders for the game are open.

Bethesda and id Software want players to feel like Leonidas in 300, cutting up hordes of foes in a glorious display of brutal violence when the game comes out on May 15, 2025, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S — or two days earlier with the more expensive early unlock. However, budgets are tight these days and getting an expensive special edition may not be worth it for everyone (especially if you may not fulfill the minimum requirements to run the game), so it’s best to get all the information you can before making a purchasing decision.
