Bethesda has lifted the preview embargo for Doom: The Dark Ages, and a number of gameplay videos have appeared online. So, we’ve decided to share with you two PC videos that showcase the game running on an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090.
These two 4K videos will give you an idea of how the preview build of this new Doom game runs on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090. However, I’m certain that these videos are WITHOUT Path Tracing.
Moreover, neither Xboxygen nor Cerealkillerz shared the PC graphics settings. They haven’t even included a Performance Overlay. So, we don’t really know the graphics settings that were used. We also don’t know the exact framerates the NVIDIA RTX 5090 can achieve at 4K.
Doom: The Dark Ages will be a single-player, action FPS prequel to the critically acclaimed DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal. As always, you will assume the role of the DOOM Slayer, the legendary demon-killing warrior fighting endlessly against Hell.
The biggest feature of Doom: The Dark Ages is its parry system. Although this will be a fast-paced game, it will allow players to parry attacks. So, think of it as a mix of Doom 2016 and Sekiro? Okay okay, the parry window is not as tight as the one for Sekiro. Still, this description can give you an idea of what you can expect from it.
Since these videos are from a preview build, they may not represent the quality of the final game. Or at least that’s what Bethesda and id Software would claim. Realistically, we are two months away from its release. So, the final game will most likely look and play exactly the way we see here.
Bethesda plans to release Doom: The Dark Ages on May 15th. As we’ve already reported, the game will support Full Ray Tracing/Path Tracing on PC. Thus, we can assume that it will support DLSS 4 and Multi-Frame Gen. After all, Indiana Jones already supports the latest version of DLSS.
Enjoy the videos and stay tuned for more!
