This title would mark the first game from the series in four years, with their last mainstream release beingDoom Eternalin 2020. Take a look at the trailer below:
As seen in the trailer, the gameplay looks to bring the latest title to the dark ages, literally. The mechanics look amazing, seeing the game’s unique usage of weapons and gear, like the gun that grinds up skulls for ammo (yeah, that’s an actual weapon). It still looks like the traditionalDoomgame, with its endless sea of enemies to deliver finishing blows to. This title will definitely be a hit in 2025.

Back in Time
Considering this game takes place in the past, why don’t we travel back in time to learn about theDoomseries and how it came to be. The originalDoomwas released by id Software back in 1993, and is still considered to be one of the first leading first-person shooter games. The game became extremely popular and (devil)spawned into a media franchise that found its way into comic books, film adaptations (which we don’t have to talk about), and novels. While fans were able to getDoom II: Hell on Earththe next year,Doom 3didn’t make its way to consumers until after the new millennium in 2004.

The game was later revealed to simply be calledDoomin 2014, which seemingly confirmed that it was to be a reboot of the franchise. In 2016,Doomwas released to the public, receiving positive reviews from critics and players alike for its gameplay and single-player campaign. A sequel was set for the game titledDoom Eternal, which launched in 2020 to great reviews as well.
