DOOM: The Dark Ages vs. DOOM Eternal – What is Changing?

May 7, 2025 9 Min Read

Where Does DOOM: The Dark Ages Fit in the Series’ Timeline?

dOOM: Dark Age It’s still a few weeks away and will be released on May 15th on Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC along with Game Pass. However, since the showcase last January, the hype has been boiling (and a few since). All the new details are even more excited to jump into this era of Slayer, but how does it differ from his last demon-shattering adventure in the 2020s? Eternal destiny? If you’re a big fan of the latter, what’s the biggest change you’re looking forward to (and adapting)? Let’s go to at least 15 people here.

Part 1 and Sequel

It should be known now, but for those confused about their placement on the timeline, Destiny: Dark Ages It happens before DOOM (2016). Eternal destiny It is the sequel to the latter, and watches Slayer return to Earth to dodge an invasion by demonic forces. Dark AgesMeanwhile, he explores his time in the Sentinel at Night, becoming a legendary murderer and wages a war with hell.

Improving the ID Technology Engine

Dark Ages It gives a twist of medieval fantasy but retains a very eerie, metallic art direction of the previous title. But it also implements global lighting traced to rays that blend more fidelity and better with physics-driven objects, as well as ray trace reflections. Eternal. Of course, large scale, LODs, and higher enemy numbers are not something to scoff.

Tank vs fighter plane

Ask anyone what the biggest change is DOOM (2016) In Eternal That’s right, and they probably answer “mobility.” The grappling hooks on the Super Shotgun allow for all sorts of Air Struffing Tech and were fed into a loop that transitions seamlessly from kill to kill. In comparison, Slayer Dark Ages His footsteps literally slam on the ground as he walks. That doesn’t mean he can’t dash or charge at blind speeds when he sees the shield, but bash the devil’s brain. Eternal.

Parry and grappling

In addition to this, it focuses on blocking damage and the new shield saw Dark Agesespecially when dealing with projectiles of certain enemies. It’s a pretty clear change compared to all flights from Eternalbut so far, I have only praised the mechanics and slamming monsters in their faces.

Weapon change

The fate of the dark ages

Some weapons are carried over DOOM (2016) and Eternal In Dark AgesIncludes a shotgun, a super shotgun (you can’t zip, but you can’t wrest the demon), and a rocket launcher. However, there are plenty of new tools to make life miserable for the powers of hell, including Railspike and Skullcrusher. Unfortunately the heavy rifle didn’t jump, but what about the improved gun? Instead of a plasma rifle, there is an accelerator. This is an SMG with fast shooting rate and low range.

Pilot and Atlan me

Existing as a mere prop for the previous title, Atlan Mech is now fully playable Dark Ages. Honestly, it should be a selling point in itself, but is it the fact that you also get a huge Chaingun that appears to have its own crew? Magnificent.

New Enemies

The fate of the Agadon Hunter in the Dark Ages

Remember the looters? Of course, you do. This elite enemy created a gap between players Eternal – Some thought it was too punished, while others felt it was the right challenge. Dark Ages They have their own looters known as the Agadon Hunters. ax– Like fashion when he destroys combos. Among the other threats are Titans, who technically appeared in previous games, but this is the first time a player has fought them on the Atlantic Mecha.

Shield saw and chainsaw

Sadly, there is no chainsaw in it Dark Ageswill be replaced by a new shield saw instead. The former is best for getting ammunition from murdered enemies, while the latter offers a wider range of features, such as bouncing off multiple enemies. If you throw it at a heavier enemy, the Thor of the Shield will embed itself and temporarily block it for more brutal damage.

New Proximity Options

Between chainsaws, crucibles, and blood punches (not including DLC ​​sentinel hammer), Eternal destiny There were quite a healthy number of proximity options. Dark Ages It’s not a leaning forward. Beside the shield you can hit enemies with maces, flails and gauntlets. However, to replenish your use, you will need to take over the enemy. Similar resources collect loops Eternal But in a different step.

Changes in the murder of glory

The fate of the dark ages

Glorious killing continues to be one of the more cooler additions to the franchise. There’s nothing better than performing weakened enemies in an overly brutal way, especially because of their invincible windows. However, Dark AgesGlory Murder is no longer changing, and does not lock you in animation, allowing for different kinds of flows.

More open level

Destiny: Dark Ages It offers a much larger level than any title in the franchise. Recently revealed in various previews, Siege is the perfect example of deploying a battlefield with a variety of purposes and enemy camps. And in the meantime Eternal destiny It’s full of secrets, Dark Ages” “Time or so” per level can be even longer if you are scrutinizing collectibles, upgrades, etc.

Multiplayer vs. No Multiplayer

Previous destiny I’ve got it in multiplayer in many ways. Eternal was meant to have an invasion-style mechanic, but eventually settled in an asymmetric Battle mode in which two demon-controlled players fought against one playing as a slayer. Dark Ages The ID software focuses on campaigns and does not have multiplayer to implement mechanics like Atlan Mech or Mount instead.

Customizable difficulty

I’m too young to die. It hurts me a lot. Super violent. And a nightmare. These are the key components that make up the difficulty spectrum of Doom (2016) Eternal. and Dark AgesI’m looking for more detailed IDs. Damage received, damaged damage, enemy attacks, target assists, parry windows – let you adjust the overall speed of the game and the number of reduced resources. There are still presets, but being able to fine-tune such a mechanism is a very welcome addition.

More cut scenes

The fate of the dark ages

Eternal There was a share of cutscenes, Destiny: Dark Ages It has further increased its usage and focus on storytelling. One more promising result of this approach is that ID incorporates the story into cutscenes, as explained by director Hugo Martin. And think about how to confuse the lore of destiny The timeline is probably hospitality.

Campaign length

According to Howlongtobeat Eternal destiny It takes about 14.5 hours on average to complete the main story. For a completer, it can be up to 28.5 hours, and if you try to find everything, the DLC will be added for about 13 more hours. The ID software has not been confirmed Dark Ages” Playtime is exaggerated as the longest campaign in the series. With its focus on storytelling, this could be an age-related FPS campaign.
