Recently, there have been rumors circulating about the next installment in the popular first-person shooter series, DOOM. Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson has revealed that the new game will be titled ‘DOOM: The Dark Ages’ and will have a “medieval inspired” setting. This hints at a potentially unique and different direction for the franchise, taking players on a journey through a world reminiscent of the medieval times. Could we be exploring the origins of the iconic Doomslayer in a prequel story?
In addition to the exciting new setting, there are also suggestions that ‘DOOM: The Dark Ages’ will be a “multiplatform” release. Windows Central’s Jez Corden has supported this claim by confirming that the game is “slated for Playstation” as well. While there is no mention of a Nintendo release yet, it is worth noting that the Switch has received all major DOOM games in the past, including challenging ports of the latest titles and DLC. This raises the possibility that the upcoming DOOM game could also make its way to Nintendo’s next-generation hardware, especially if it is being developed for multiple platforms.
With Nintendo teasing an announcement about the successor to the Switch within this fiscal year, fans are hopeful that the new DOOM game could be part of the lineup for the next-generation console. The Switch’s versatility and portability have made it a popular choice for DOOM players, and the inclusion of ‘DOOM: The Dark Ages’ on the Switch would undoubtedly excite fans of the series. As the gaming industry continues to evolve, cross-platform releases have become more common, providing players with greater accessibility to their favorite games across different consoles.
