As part of their 25th anniversary celebrations, Xbox have announced that a new Slaughter Mode is arriving in DOOM: The Dark Ages next week. While details about the new mode remain fairly limited, Slaughter mode will provide a new reason for fans to return to DOOM: The Dark Ages, and work on their demon-slaying skills.

Developed by id Software, DOOM: The Dark Ages is a prequel title to DOOM and DOOM Eternal, and takes the franchise’s brutal combat into a darker, medieval-inspired setting. The game introduced several new mechanics into the series, including the Shield Saw, as well as an arsenal of deadly weapons designed to make short work of the demonic hordes.

The arrival of Slaughter Mode isn’t the only news coming from id Software today. The studio has also revealed that development is already underway on their next title. No further details have been provided about the latest project, and it is currently unclear whether they are working on another entry for the DOOM franchise, or something completely different.

For now, players can look forward to experiencing DOOM: The Dark Ages Slaughter Mode when it arrives on November 16th.
