The Dark Ages is developed by Bethesda's id Software and is the third game in the newest series that began with 2016's Doom and continued with 2020's Doom Eternal. Although the series is now owned by Microsoft, the company is releasing The Dark Ages on PS5 as part of its new multiplatform release strategy.

Xbox and Bethesda have announced a freshly-baked tie-in to celebrate the launch of Doom: The Dark Ages. The two publishers have a long history of working on product tie-ins that become available for a limited time to coincide with the launch of their biggest games, and Doom is no different.
