It seems that the excitement surrounding the upcoming Developer_Direct event has been marred by an unfortunate leak. Just two days before the presentation, the release date for the much-anticipated game, DOOM: The Dark Ages, was inadvertently disclosed by the reputable French gaming site, Gamekult. They briefly published an article stating that the game would launch on May 15, which was quickly retracted but not before being spotted in their RSS feed.

This leak aligns with earlier reports from insider NateTheHate, who had previously mentioned that DOOM: The Dark Ages was slated for a May release. With two independent sources now pointing to the same timeframe, fans have a clearer idea of when they can expect the next installment in the beloved DOOM series.
Microsoft is set to officially unveil DOOM: The Dark Ages during its Developer_Direct presentation this Thursday. This new chapter, described as a prequel to the modern DOOM dilogy, promises to retain the series' signature brutal combat, despite its medieval theme. The anticipation for more details on the game's setting and gameplay mechanics continues to build as the event approaches.
