Doom Slayer goes to the past and becomes an chained living weapon, ready to unleash hell on earth

In Doom: the dark centuries, The uccidator’s fury Not only does he come back, but makes him wrapped in medieval steel, a giant crossbow that looks like hell and an aura of dark legend that makes him more a myth than a man. The new trailer, revealed in full Wrestlemania 41 (Yes, with Drew McIntyre Cosplayo of DoomGuy included), he clarified that this delivery is not just a prequel: it is a declaration of war on the classic hero narrative.

The legend of the chained warrior

From the first seconds of advancement, The atmosphere changes radically. No scientific structure on Mars or demonic portals in technological complexes. Here we move through dark lands, ancestral ruins and beasts worthy of Lovecraft nightmares. Doom: the dark centuries Don’t be happy to go back in time: He completely dives into mythologyAnd with it rewrites the origin of Slayer Doom.

The trailer replaces Raudals’ classic action with a narrative full of tension. We are introduced to Slayer like an uncontrollable forceSuch a feared being that the warriors who invoke keep it chained, using it only when the destruction seems already inevitable. The phrase that defines it clarifies: “It’s not one of us … it’s something we find. It’s anger. It’s pain. And when the moment will come, we’ll free him.”

More than a hero, The killing is a curse with legsA kind of God of the original war that is released only when everything is lost. And because of his constant expression of silent anger, it is clear that it is not very fun to be the last option.

New setting, same brutality

This delivery takes a long time before Doom (2016)Precisely to the period in which the protagonist was part of the sentries, a brutal warrior order who decided to transform Doom Slayer into his final weapon. The contrast between The medieval armor stylelas Analog weapons changed by demonic technology And the metal soundtrack reminds us that although the wrapper changes, The Essence Doom remains wilder than ever.

But if there is something that will really make you shout on the screen it is the creature that closes the trailer. A biomechanical abomination which looks like a mixture between the Icon of sin And a divinity of the myths of Cthulhu. Giant, deformed, repugnant and with a design so loaded with details that it is not known whether to look at it or escape. It is the type of monster that not only you have to kill, but you expect that you never come back again … even if you know it will come back.

The details that make the dark centuries the most ambitious delivery

The ID software seems to have opted for the most cinematographic approach to date, Without abandoning visceral madness who made the franchise famous. There is a narrative here, there is an emotional weight (in the Doom style, of course: everything is anger and revenge), and there is a much more dense, almost apocalyptic atmosphere.

The dark legend mixture, grotesque fantasy and infernal technology gives us vibrations of Dark souls wet with petrol and fire. The Ballasta-Bfg promises to be a jewel and we would not surprise ourselves to see more hybrid weapons between medieval and science fiction. Everything indicates what The dark centuries Not only does the Slayer tradition expands, but does it A total mythological figureAt the level of the Nordic gods … but much more pissed off.

Doom: the dark centuries THE May 15, 2025And if the trailer has already put our hair in the end, we don’t want to imagine how it will be playing with helmets and lights.
