An eagle-eyed Doom fan has noticed that Doom: The Dark Ages includes a moving HUD that's reminiscent of the iconically twitchy Doomguy face from the original games.
Just a few days ago, Xbox kicked off what's shaping up to be a huge year by hosting its first Developer Direct of 2025. While I'm still getting over the reveal of both Ninja Gaiden 4 and a remake of Ninja Gaiden 2, the other highlight of the showcase was Doom: The Dark Ages, which got a massive gameplay deep-dive and a release date.
Get ready to stand and fight.
While I was already sold on The Dark Ages since it was first revealed due to the simple fact that it's a Doom game, the Xbox showcase did give us our best look yet at what it's all about. That included a look at how the game's HUD is going to work while also referencing the original Doom all at the same time.
With how fast-paced and mind-blowingly sick the gameplay for Doom: The Dark Ages looked, I wouldn't blame you for not paying too much attention to the game's HUD. I certainly didn't, which makes me appreciate Twitter user kurokkiii...
