How to Play Doom The Dark Ages Early? Everything You Need to Know

Doom: The Dark Ages is Bethesda's violent return to the demon-slaying chaos of the Doom universe, but this time with a dark medieval spin. As a prequel to the contemporary Doom series, this new entry gives the origin story of the Doomslayer, equipping players with medieval weapons, ancient technology, and unadulterated fury.

If you're wondering, "How do I play Doom: The Dark Ages early?" the answer is in which edition you opt for.

Doom The Dark Ages Early Access with the Premium Edition

The only method of playing Doom The Dark Ages ahead of time is pre-ordering the Premium Edition. This edition provides players with up to two days of early access, allowing you to plunge into the demon world before the worldwide release.

This early access window gets you in on the ground floor, with the game's new combat systems, environments, and lore all to explore. Whether you're gunning for leaderboard prestige or just can't wait to rip and tear, the Premium Edition is your entry ticket.

What's Included with the Premium Edition?

The Premium Edition isn't merely early access, it's also a bundle of digital goodies:

• Base game.
• Upcoming Campaign DLC (releasing after release).
• Maykr-inspired Divinity Skin Pack contains three exclusive skins: Divinity Slayer, Divinity Dragon, and Divinity Atlan.
• Digital Artbook with concept art and lore.
• Official Game Soundtrack.

Other Editions & Pre-order Bonus for All Editions

If you don't care about extras, the Standard Edition offers you just the base game, no frills, and no early access. Then there's the Collector's Bundle, which offers all Premium content along with physical collectibles such as:

• A 12-inch Doom Slayer figure with Shield Saw and removable Super Shotgun.
• Faux fur cape and flail.
• A replica Red Key Card.
• A SteelBook case.

But only the Premium and Collector's Bundle versions come with early access, so if you want to get in early, don't buy the Standard Edition. Pre-ordering any version will grant the exclusive Void Doom Slayer Skin at launch, no matter which version you opt for.

Note: The Dark Ages early, pre-order the Premium Edition (or Collector's Bundle) to get up to two days of early access.
