DOOM: The Dark Ages Release Date Leaked

It seems that the excitement surrounding the upcoming Developer_Direct presentation has been somewhat overshadowed by a premature leak. Just two days before the event, a significant detail about the much-anticipated game, DOOM: The Dark Ages, was accidentally disclosed by the prominent French gaming site, Gamekult. They briefly published an article suggesting a release date of May 15 for this new installment in the beloved DOOM series. Although the article was swiftly removed, eagle-eyed fans caught sight of it via the site's RSS feed.

Adding credibility to this leak, insider NateTheHate had previously hinted that DOOM: The Dark Ages would be hitting the shelves in May, corroborating the timeframe mentioned by Gamekult. This convergence of information from two distinct sources lends weight to the possibility that fans can expect the game to launch around this period.

Microsoft is set to officially unveil DOOM: The Dark Ages this Thursday during its Developer_Direct presentation. This new chapter is a prequel to the modern DOOM duology and, while adopting a medieval theme, it promises to retain the series' signature essence of brutal combat against the forces of Hell.
