id Software aims to make DOOM: The Dark Ages the most accessible game in the franchise to date. Executive producer Marty Stratton highlighted a significant increase in customization options compared to previous id Software titles, emphasizing the studio's commitment to broad player reach.
Players will enjoy extensive control over various gameplay aspects. This includes adjusting enemy difficulty and damage, projectile speed and damage output, and even broader elements such as game tempo, aggression levels, and parry timings.
Stratton confirmed that the narratives of DOOM: The Dark Ages and DOOM: Eternal are designed to be independently understandable, eliminating the need to play one to comprehend the other.
