Doom: The Dark Ages takes unexpected influence from Frank Miller's Batman - and was even dubbed Doom: Year One during development
Briefly

Hugo Martin, a veteran in the gaming industry, leads the narrative development of the latest Doom games, enhancing the series' lore. Following the success of Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal, which presented their stories with increasing clarity, the upcoming Doom: The Dark Ages aims to refine this storytelling. Positioned as a prequel, it promises to be the most ambitious Doom title yet, offering deeper combat, larger worlds, and a narrative inspired in part by Frank Miller's comic work. Martin seeks to create an enjoyable experience for both players and developers alike, spotlighting the strength of the Doom Slayer's saga.
After 10 years of making modern Doom games together, the hope - the goal - is to give players an experience that's as fun to play as it is to make.
The story was originally called Doom Year One! These comics of Frank Miller inspired a lot of the narrative direction we're taking with this game.
