It appears that the Path Tracing trailer that NVIDIA showcased behind closed doors at CES 2025 has been leaked online. This is an off-screen video, meaning that you won’t be able to tell much from it. Still, this is new in-engine footage from one of the most anticipated games of 2025. So I guess some of you will find interesting, no?
Doom: The Dark Ages will be powered by the latest version of the iD Tech. And, as with the latest Indiana Jones game, it will have support for Full Ray Tracing/Path Tracing.
To be honest, I’m shocked that a fast-paced game like Doom will support Path Tracing. Still, I’m really excited about it. I’m also curious to see whether there will be any major visual differences between the path-traced and the non path-traced versions. So, expect comparisons once we get our hands on it.
Since there will be support for Path Tracing, we can also expect Doom: The Dark Ages to support DLSS 4. So, this is another thing that I’m curious about. How will the game run with DLSS 4 X4? And what about its latency? Will it be playable at 4K with DLSS 4? Ah, so many questions.
Bethesda is planning to release Doom: The Dark Ages in 2025. There’s also a rumor suggesting that the game might come out on May 15th. My guess is that Microsoft will announce the official release date tomorrow.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
