Doom will get Medieval on us
By Tom Richardson, Newsbeat reporter
There is a joke amongst software program builders each time a bit of latest, questionably helpful tech is launched (good fridges, anybody?)
Can it run Doom?
The reply is often “sure” – the 1993 basic has been made to work on microwaves, treadmills and even medical tools. However you would possibly want a bit extra processing energy for Doom: The Darkish Ages, out on PS5, Xbox and PC from Thursday.
Following up 2020’s Doom: Everlasting, The Darkish Ages plunges participant character the Doom Slayer right into a Medieval hellscape stuffed with demonic enemies and an arsenal of frankly ridiculous weapons.

However early previews counsel the newest entry within the collection is one thing of a departure, that includes bigger open areas to discover, a heavier concentrate on storyline and gameplay that encourages gamers to suppose defensively (once they aren’t pelting enemies with streams of projectiles).
Having mentioned that, gamers may also equip themselves with a protect lined with chainsaw blades, pilot a Godzilla-sized big robotic and journey a dragon – all to a heavy steel soundtrack, after all.
And it would not get far more Doom than that.
