With an epic scale befitting its conflicts, DOOM: The Dark Ages promises to be id Software’s “biggest campaign” ever made “by a good bit.” After revealing the Cosmic Realm in a new trailer, game director Hugo Martin confirmed that there are 22 levels in total. Compare this to DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal which both feature 13 missions. The final playtime is unknown, though Martin previously said it’s “really long” with some of the “largest spaces” ever made by the developer. However, he also clarified that it doesn’t want a level to “overstay its welcome” and that the “sweet spot” is about an hour. There is a lot of optional side content, though, and those who hunt down every secret that the shooter has to offer should be in for a “much larger experience.” DOOM: The Dark Ages launches on May 15th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC (alongside Game Pass). Pre-orders get two days of early access. As a prequel to DOOM (2016), the story follows the Slayer’s rise through the Night Sentinels’ ranks and battle against the forces of Hell.
