The program offers players previews of new video games coming to Xbox Series X/S, PC and Game Pass, along with a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the upcoming releases.

Developer_Direct will give a glimpse of the id Studios DOOM prequel, DOOM: The Dark Ages.

"In this third installment of the modern DOOM series, players will step into the blood-stained boots of the Doom Slayer in this never-before-seen dark and sinister medieval war against Hell," an official description reads.

The preview will also explore South of Midnight, which was created by Montreal's Compulsion Games (We Happy Few).
