A new DOOM: The Dark Ages trailer was shared today, providing a new look at the game running on PlayStation 5 Pro.
The new trailer, presented by game director Hugo Martin, introduces the , a world the developer wanted to incorporate into the DOOM universe for a while. This Lovecraftian dimension, which looks quite haunting, is home to fearful enemies like the twin-bladed Cosmic Baron, the powerful Cacodemon, and more. You can take a look at how the Cosmic Realm runs on PlayStation 5 Pro below.
DOOM: The Dark Ages promises to be not only yet another engaging entry in the series, but also an amazing showcase of the id Tech 8 engine , which delivers a world rendered using virtualized geometry, robust physics simulation, and ray-traced lighting at high performance.

That will be until you explore some of the newer things in DOOM: The Dark Ages. So, to put it quite simply, I could play parts of, not all, two different levels. You are essentially riding a DOOM Guy Gundam in the first of these two. The second, you get to fly a dragon with mecha wings and guns. Now, DOOMdam, as I will now call it, feels similar enough to other levels. It's just that you're now a big machine. You get to punch the hell out of Titans, sometimes shoot them, and there is a sense of scale due to the surrounding combat. I don't know how impactful it will feel over time, but it offered something different while still feeling like the DOOM we know.
DOOM: The Dark Ages launches on May 15th on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S.
