Maintaining the chaotic spirit of the original “Doom”, the trailer presents frenetic combat sequences where players engage in relentless battles against hordes of demons and mythical creatures across a variety of medieval backdrops. Assuming the role of the Slayer, players will confront entities directly from hell who aim to annihilate mankind. While some enemies bear resemblance to those encountered in past installments, players will also encounter new demons and perils.
