Doom: The Dark Ages Interactive Maps & Completion Hub

Doom: The Dark Ages is the prequel that answers the franchise's oldest question — who was the Doom Slayer before the rage took hold. Developed by id Software and published by Bethesda Softworks, it was released on May 15, 2025, for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with Day One availability on Xbox Game Pass.

The eighth main entry in the Doom franchise and the third in the modern series, it pulls the timeline back further than any previous game — long before the events of Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal — into a dark fantasy war between the Night Sentinels, the Maykrs, and the legions of Hell

MapMaster's 22 chapter maps place every collectible, upgrade, secret, and challenge at exact coordinates across the Slayer's entire campaign — the fastest route to 100% completion in id Software's largest and most expansive levels to date.

Stand and Fight: A Different Kind of Doom

Where Doom Eternal demanded speed, momentum, and aerial acrobatics, The Dark Ages takes a deliberate counterposition. Creative director Hugo Martin's stated philosophy — "stand and fight" — defines every mechanic.

The Doom Slayer in The Dark Ages is an iron tank: slower, heavier, and built around direct confrontation rather than evasion.

The Shield Saw is the defining tool. It blocks incoming attacks, executes parries, extends into melee strikes, and launches as a throwable buzzsaw — all from a single weapon that never leaves Enzo's hand.

Combined with melee options including the Flail, Spiked Mace, and Electrified Gauntlet, the combat system rewards aggression and positioning over the movement-centric approach of the previous entry.

22 Chapters Across a Dark Fantasy War

The campaign spans 22 chapters across war-scarred medieval battlefields, ancient hellscapes, and realms beyond anything in the franchise's prior history.

From the opening Village of Khalim through the fortified walls of the Holy City of Aratum, the scale of the Siege missions, the fires of the Ancestral Forge, the heights of the Spire of Nerathul, the maze of the Kar'Thul Marshes, and the late-game gauntlet of the Harbor of Souls — every level has a dedicated MapMaster map with all secrets, collectibles, and upgrade resources marked.

Vehicles: The Atlan and the Mecha Dragon

The Dark Ages is the first game in the franchise to place the Doom Slayer behind the controls of a vehicle.

Two appear during campaign missions: the Atlan — a 30-story mech capable of beating Titan-class demons with its metal fists — and the Mecha Dragon — a cybernetic dragon strapped with jet engines and heavy firepower used for aerial combat sequences.

Both vehicle sections are tracked across the chapter maps alongside standard collectibles.
