Happy Friday, Doom fans! As if hype levels weren’t high enough, a new trailer has been released for Doom: The Dark Ages which shows off new location, the Cosmic Realm. Hugo Martin, Game Director at id Software, revealed plenty of more details about the Cosmic Realm via the official PlayStation blog. With the new location, the Doom Slayer is going to face some of his most dangerous enemies, such as the Cosmic Baron.
A twin-bladed brute, he attacks with relentless pressure, and at range he releases a flurry of psionic attacks that can block your projectiles and rip through your precious health. But fear not, because embedded in his attacks are parry windows that a skilled Doom Slayer should be able to exploit, should he or she be brave enough to stand and fight him.
All the strongest foes in Doom: The Dark Ages require this kind of aggression. You’ll weave your way through a maze of projectiles, just like in classic Doom, to then go toe-to-toe with the biggest demons we’ve ever created.
After players face the Cosmic Baron, a new enemy designed for the Doom: The Dark Ages, and he’s shown off in the new trailer.
After you’ve dispatched the Cosmic Baron, be careful, because rising above the dark horizon you’ll find the powerful Cacodemon, a hybrid between the two dimensions and newly designed for this game. This floating mass of telepathic terror will immobilize you with his advanced shield attacks and cripple you with his tentacle strikes, should you allow him to get close.
It looks so much fun, and getting to take out all of these creatures with so many different weapons, including the new Reaver Chainshot, is going to be awesome.
Fire it quickly to unleash a light attack to a single foe, or hold down the trigger to charge its Chaos Sphere and unleash vicious long-range melee strikes, turning your enemies’ insides into demonic pulp. This weapon is unlike anything we’ve ever had in an id game; it brings the Doom: The Dark Ages’ fantastic melee combat to a whole new merciless level of bone-breaking destruction. The sound, the design, the visuals, this weapon is amazing and you’re gonna love using it in battle.
Anyway guys, here’s the new trailer for Doom: The Dark Ages:
