What is the title of the upcoming DOOM game and how does it differ in theme from previous entries in the series?
The upcoming DOOM game is titled "DOOM: The Dark Ages." This game differs from previous entries in the series as it takes place in a medieval setting. The game is a prequel of sorts and has a working title of "DOOM: Year Zero." The game's director, Hugo Martin, has expressed a desire to slow the gameplay down a bit, making the player feel like a hulking monster truck rather than a deadly race car. This change in pace could be reflective of the game's setting before the Doom Slayer acquired many of his modern powers and weapons. The game is expected to be released on Xbox, Windows, and PlayStation platforms.
