Among the most anticipated games of the year is approaching, as DOOM: The Dark Ages has set a release date. During the Xbox Developer_Direct event held on Thursday, the teams at Bethesda Softworks and id Software announced that this medieval prequel starring the Slayer will be available starting May 15, 2025, simultaneously on Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and PlayStation 5.
For Xbox users with Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass, the standard version of DOOM: The Dark Ages will be available right from launch day. Furthermore, a Deluxe edition of DOOM: The Dark Ages is also being released, which comes with additional cosmetics, future DLC expansions for the campaign, and early access to the game starting two days before release, so you can begin slaying demons on May 13 ahead of others.

Rounding out a packed year for Xbox
DOOM: The Dark Ages is a precursor to id Software’s 2016 DOOM, immersing players in the Slayer’s battles against demonic forces earlier in the timeline. This game is heavily influenced by both medieval and science fiction elements, with your weapons and enemies drawing inspiration from dark fantasy as well as modern sci-fi. This translates to the opportunity to pilot colossal Atlan mechs and crush enormous demons, and even ride a fire-spewing cybernetic dragon through the skies. I’m really looking forward to it, and you can read my thoughts on the game based on a pre-release demo.
In May, we can expect DOOM to be released, but it’s not the sole major Xbox game due this year. Microsoft has a lineup of first-party games planned for 2025, originating from their different publishing divisions.
Among the upcoming games showcased in the Developer_Direct presentation is “South of Midnight,” which will be released by Xbox Game Studios and Compulsion Games. This third-person adventure delves into the rich folklore of the Southern United States and includes mystical creatures. “South of Midnight” is set to launch on April 8, 2024.
During Developer_Direct, the Xbox Game Studios Publishing division unveiled a fresh version of the legendary Ninja Gaiden series, titled Ninja Gaiden 4. This upcoming action game is being jointly developed by Team Ninja and PlatinumGames, with a planned release in Fall 2025.
Beyond these, there are numerous other games on the horizon, such as Avowed from Obsidian Entertainment, Fable by Playground Games, and Towerborne for Xbox, among others that we can anticipate in the coming months. The Xbox Game Pass library becomes even more impressive when you consider the addition of third-party games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 from Sandfall Interactive, scheduled to debut on April 24, 2025.
