The development team behind DOOM: The Dark Ages has set their sights on making the game as accessible as possible to a broad audience. According to executive producer Marty Stratton, id Software is pushing the boundaries of customization further than ever before. This new installment offers players unprecedented control over various aspects of the game, from adjusting enemy difficulty and damage to tweaking projectile speeds, damage intake, and even the game's tempo, aggression level, and parry timing. This level of customization ensures that players of all skill levels can enjoy a tailored gaming experience.

Stratton also reassured fans that understanding the storylines of DOOM: The Dark Ages and DOOM: Eternal does not require prior experience with DOOM: The Dark Ages. This approach makes the game welcoming to both new players and long-time fans of the series.
