DOOM: The Dark Ages is the newest installment in the legendary franchise and is available now on all major platforms. The position of The Dark Ages in the larger DOOM timeline is interesting, particularly because we're seeing a part of the lore that has been speculated about for some time. The Dark Ages explores the period after the early DOOM installments —DOOM (1993), DOOM II: Hell on Earth, and DOOM 64 — when Doomguy has descended into Hell and is imprisoned, eventually becoming the Doom Slayer we know and love in DOOM (2016) and DOOM: Eternal.
