Doom: The Dark Ages is an upcoming installment in the Doom franchise, set to be released on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. It will be revealed at the Xbox Games Showcase on June 9, 2024. The game originally had the codename/placeholder title "Year Zero." Work began on the game in 2020. According to a report in 2023, the game is Medieval inspired. In September 2023, the existence of the game was leaked via FTC documents. In early 2024, a rumor began to circulate about a new Doom game following Bethesda's newly registered trademark "IDKFA," a well-known cheat code in the series. In April 2024, Tom Warren of The Verge reported that Microsoft would be making a Doom announcement later in the year. This was confirmed the following month at Insider Gaming, which reported that The Dark Ages would be announced at the 2024 Xbox Games Showcase.

The Halo: Combat Evolved remaster project is reportedly in the early stages of development and is being considered for release on PlayStation 5. This information comes from a report by Tom Warren of The Verge. The original Halo: Combat Evolved was developed by Bungie and released in 2001 as a launch game for the original Xbox gaming system. It is not clear when more information about this remaster project will be revealed, as it is still in the early development stages.
