Doom: The Dark Ages, originally announced in June 2024, has had its release date leaked in a recent article published by Gamekult, although later deleted. The article, as noted by Insider Gaming, explained that the highly anticipated FPS title by Bethesda would be launched on May 15, 2025 further iterating a leak by eXtas1s revealed in 2024 which suggested the game’s May release.
Doom: The Dark Ages has been a highly anticipated title since its official announcement in 2024. The game has went on to garner hype continuously with leaks and updates released by notable sources and the game’s developer Bethesda. That said, fans have been anticipating learning about the game’s weapons in medieval setting, character origins, and several noteworthy features.
A recent article on French outlet Gamekult (which has reportedly been deleted), as noted by Insider Gaming, suggests that Doom: The Dark Ages is supposedly slated for release in the middle of the month of May, 2025 reportedly on May 15. The announcement has clearly been received with a lot of excitement from gamers it confirms a leak released in 2024 which also suggested a May release.
Fans speculate the reason for the article’s deletion on the website Gamekult, with some suggesting that it was mistakenly published before it was supposed to. With Doom: The Dark Ages already slated to release later in 2025 as officially announced in the past, fans are clearly excited that their anticipated FPS title would be making its way to their consoles sooner than later.
That said, considering the fact that this is just a leak which is possibly backed by pure speculation, fans are encouraged to take it with a grain of salt since the credibility of the article hasn’t been verified. Doom: The Dark Ages is already part of the stellar 2025 lineup for Xbox, and whether or not the game gets a May release, players will still get their hands on their highly anticipated FPS title this year. Whatever the case, since Doom: The Dark Ages may also be unveiled in the Xbox Developer Direct on January 23, fans can expect that the release date may just be confirmed then.
