DOOM: The Dark Ages Release Date Leaked

It appears 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 highly anticipated game, DOOM: The Dark Ages, was accidentally disclosed by the French gaming site Gamekult. They briefly published an article revealing a potential release date of May 15, which was swiftly removed but not before it appeared in their RSS feed.

This leak corroborates earlier reports from insider NateTheHate, who had previously suggested that DOOM: The Dark Ages would be launching in May. With two independent sources now pointing to the same timeframe, fans have a clearer picture of when they can expect the next installment in the beloved series.

Microsoft is set to officially unveil DOOM: The Dark Ages at the Developer_Direct presentation this Thursday. This new chapter serves as a prequel to the modern DOOM dilogy and, while set in a medieval era, retains the series' signature theme of relentless combat against the forces of Hell.
