It seems that the excitement for the upcoming Developer_Direct is tinged with a bit of disappointment as leaks have seemingly spoiled one of the major announcements. Just two days before the event, the French gaming site Gamekult inadvertently revealed a potential release date for the highly anticipated game, DOOM: The Dark Ages. The site prematurely published an article stating that the game is set to launch on May 15. Although the article was swiftly removed, eagle-eyed fans caught the slip-up through the site's RSS feed.

This leak aligns with earlier rumors from insider NateTheHate, who had previously suggested that DOOM: The Dark Ages would hit the shelves in May. With two independent sources now pointing to the same release window, it appears that the cat might be out of the bag.

Microsoft is set to officially unveil DOOM: The Dark Ages during its Developer_Direct presentation this Thursday. The game serves as a prequel to the modern DOOM series, embracing a medieval theme while retaining the series' signature brutal action against the forces of Hell. Despite the leak, fans are still eagerly awaiting the official announcement and more details about this exciting new chapter in the DOOM saga.
