Preordering any version of Doom: The Dark Ages gets you the Void Slayer in-game skin as a free bonus.

While it serves as your initial lesson in demon slaying, Doom: The Dark Ages' first mission doesn't hold back when it comes to bits and bobs to find. In fact, there are six Village of Khalim secrets and five collectibles in the opening level.

The new id Tech 8 engine is extraordinary. Digital Foundry goes deep on the new technology id Software has delivered.

Doom: The Dark Ages officially launches on May 15, but people who pay more for the $100 Premium Edition can start playing on May 13. The Dark Ages is included with Game Pass Ultimate, and subscribers can spend $35 on a Premium upgrade pack to play two days early and get other perks.

There are some nasty glitches with Blackwell graphics cards, notably with V-Sync and Multi Frame Generation, and Alt-Tabbing when launching the game.

Doom: The Dark Ages is here, and if you want Doom Slayer to look his best while slaying demons, you can get the free Guardian skin through Twitch Drops. As you fight through medieval hell, you can customize Doom Slayer with various outfits and weapon skins.

Unfortunately, ahead of release, reports and impressions state that DOOM The Dark Ages is a "nightmare" on Steam Deck, even at low settings.

Unless you're built like a heavyweight WWE wrestler, accurately sized Doom Slayer armor would probably be a little too big for you.
