Doom's Dark Ages Composer Finally Unveiled

The highly anticipated game Doom: The Dark Ages has announced that the music production team Finishing Move will be creating its soundtrack, known for their work on Borderlands 3 and Halo Wars 2. Game director Hugo Martin characterized the soundtrack as a "metal soundscape loaded with guitars, medieval vibes, and pure adrenaline," aligning with the franchise’s iconic style. This change comes amid an ongoing dispute between id Software and former composer Mick Gordon, who had previously worked on the acclaimed scores for Doom and Doom Eternal. The soundtrack will be crucial for enhancing the gameplay experience as Doom: The Dark Ages is set to release on May 15, 2025, for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC.
