Hugo Martin, the game director of Doom: The Dark Ages, and producer Marty Stratton revealed that most weapons in the game are new creations, with only shotguns remaining from previous titles. The game features a diverse lineup of weapons, including a familiar shotgun, a super shotgun with a new shield charge, a close-range weapon called the Skullcrusher, a Railspike that pins enemies to walls, a rocket launcher similar to its predecessor, and a new plasma-based SMG called the Accelerator.

The release date is set for March 15.
