Developer id Software and publisher Bethesda Softworks will be launching their coming first-person shooter ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ on Battle.net alongside Steam and the Xbox PC app (Microsoft Store). And just like Obsidian Entertainment’s ‘Avowed‘, the game will support crossbuy between the Xbox version and the Battle.net version so long as the buyer purchases the game on either platform and have their accounts linked.

More ways to play never hurt anyone—but demons do feel pain when gibbed! Have a gander at our preview of Doom: The Dark Ages for we think tis a game not to be skipped!

We previewed the game, today!

You know why historians often refer to medieval days as the dark ages? It’s because id Software had yet to invent Doom, and society lived in absolute disarray until then. Lore-wise, Doom: The Dark Ages is a prequel to the last two instalments in the franchise, but don’t be fooled.

It is a transformative new mainline installment in this legendary first person shooter franchise, and we managed to play it for about three hours in a special Doom-themed event, organized by Bethesda in Germany. There’s so much to talk about, so let’s just do it: here’s our hands-on experience with Doom: The Dark Ages.
