Luckily it was cancelled. Looks like the folks who played the original weren't keen on playing a slow mobile cashgrab.
But the non-gameplay trailer was nice. https://youtu.be/BpneMd8xTFw

For some reason they cancelled it after the gameplay trailer was released.

Microsoft (and by extension id and Bethesda) are a priority target for the BDS boycotts against Israel

For me anyway, my loss of interest in the DOOM franchise began when they started dehumanizing the Doom Marine and started stacking fantasy/medieval elements to the main protagonist and his arsenal. They turned a futuristic space marine who just got punished for punching an officer into some sort of fantastic demigod thing. It got really bad in Doom Eternal already.
I like my DOOM games when it is a battle of sci-fi military forces against demonic forces. Human technology versus the hordes of hell. But now with Dark Ages Bethesda turned the franchise into a more violent and edgy Skyrim.

- It’s $80
- It’s on Gamespass, where I assume a lot of doom fans who might have otherwise purchased are likely to be.
- It’s shouldered up against Expedition 33 and Oblivion Remake, both over $20 cheaper and highly acclaimed.
- It’s $80
- (Edit) shitty DRM

Let's see
- The game itself takes away a lot of pieces of the formula that made 2016 and Eternal so good
- $80 price tag
- BDS boycott
- Denuvo
I'm shocked that it's not selling, absolutely shocked.

The game is basically less Doom & more WH40K-ish.
You want a more Doom-like game ? Try SELACO eventhough it's early access, the 1st chapter is long & fun & guess what the devs told the anti-woke mob to fuck off & the devs are getting cancelled for it.
It's basically F.E.A.R+Classic Doom graphics (Uses the GZDoom engine)

I didn't even look at it enough to know if I'd buy it otherwise when I saw it has denuvo. Always online DRM is a hard pass for me. I haven't played the last 3 games Atlus released either and I've been playing almost every one since the ps2 era.

I am interested, but not that much to pay more than 20€ in a sale in a few years. It was the same with Doom Eternal. And I haven't bought it to this day
Maybe it will never be bought

I'm one of the biggest fans of the DOOM franchise, I've played all the versions since the original one in 1993.
But I don't care if I play it now or in half a year. Or a year for that matter. Never really understood why having it first matters to anyone. I'll be here when the prices drop.I was stupid enough to buy Spacemarine 2, when it came out, at full price (mostly because I loved Boltgun so much) and that was a great lesson about how you should wait around a bit before actually buying a game. It would have been a fun game for 15 or even 20 euro, but it's not worth 70 euro. I Should have bought Helldivers, anyway

I paid about £3.50 for Doom 2016 last week and around £12 for eternal, having not played a doom game since Doom 3's launch. I'm enjoying the 2016 one and will look forward to Eternal in a week or 3 once I finish that. what I won't do is pay £70 for a doom game.
I might consider a games for windows sub to get it that way, but that remains to be seen.wrote on 26 May 2025, 15:56 last edited byGame for windows sub? You mean Gamepass?
