The Dark Ages' Hugo Martin talks revisiting the 1993 Doom, and how it inspired the team to evolve this time around

The Dark Ages to remind me of was Halo 3. And yet, half way through a recent hands-on demo with id Software’s gothic prequel, I was mounted on the back of a cyborg dragon and unleashing a salvo of machinegun fire across the side of a demonic battle barge.

Five years removed from the lightning-quick pace of Doom Eternal, The Dark Ages draws near as id Software throws us back in time. Set well before the events of Doom 2016, the upcoming prequel will show us the origins of the Doom Slayer and how he became so feared throughout the realms.
