PCGamesN mentions DOOM: The Dark Ages May 23

PCGamesN used *Doom: The Dark Ages* on May 23 as a current-play reference in two separate Nvidia-related stories written by hardware editor Edward Chester. In both cases, the game was not the subject of the article itself. Instead, it appeared in the author bio line attached to Chester’s coverage, which said he is “currently working his way through” *Indy and the Great Circle*, *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, and *Doom: The Dark Ages* between sessions of *CS2* and *Fortnite Zero Build*. The wording matters because it places *Doom: The Dark Ages* inside PCGamesN’s live hardware and performance-testing context on May 23. One article covered Nvidia’s reporting changes as AI revenue dwarfed gaming. The other covered an Nvidia GeForce Now promotion tied to *007 First Light*. In both stories, Chester’s byline and bio identified *Doom: The Dark Ages* as one of the games he was actively playing at the time. (pcgamesn.com) ### Where did PCGamesN mention the game on May 23? PCGamesN published a story on May 23 saying Nvidia no longer reports gaming GPUs as a standalone business segment, instead grouping them into “Edge Computing.” That article was written by Edward Chester, and the attached bio said he was “currently working his way through” *Doom: The Dark Ages*. (pcgamesn.com) PCGamesN also published a second Nvidia story on May 23 about a GeForce Now offer for *007 First Light*. That piece was also written by Chester, and it carried the same bio line naming *Doom: The Dark Ages* among the games he was currently playing. ### Was this a new game update or just a passing reference? The May 23 mentions were a reference, not a new game-specific announcement. (pcgamesn.com) Neither Nvidia story reported a patch, launch change, review score, or sales update for *Doom: The Dark Ages*. The game surfaced as part of the writer’s disclosed current play list in hardware coverage. PCGamesN does maintain a dedicated *Doom: The Dark Ages* hub, and the site has previously run standalone coverage including previews, system requirements and other guides. (pcgamesn.com) But the May 23 references in question were embedded in Nvidia articles rather than presented as separate *Doom* news. ### Why does the wording stand out? The phrase “currently working his way through” is specific enough to show that Chester was not citing the game as an abstract example. (pcgamesn.com) PCGamesN used the same wording in other recent Chester pieces, including a May driver-security article, suggesting it is part of a standard author bio describing his active review and play rotation. (pcgamesn.com) That makes the May 23 references useful mainly as evidence of timing. They show *Doom: The Dark Ages* was still part of PCGamesN’s current hands-on frame of reference on that date, particularly in Nvidia and PC hardware coverage. That is an inference from the repeated author-bio language and article placement, not a separate statement by PCGamesN beyond the text itself. (pcgamesn.com) ### What else do the linked PCGamesN pages show about the game? PCGamesN’s system-requirements page for *Doom: The Dark Ages* says the game requires a ray-tracing-capable GPU at every settings tier and lists storage at 100GB SSD. The page also identifies Edward Chester as the author and carries the same current-play wording seen in the May 23 Nvidia coverage. (pcgamesn.com) PCGamesN’s earlier preview coverage described the game as moving away from some elements of *Doom Eternal* while retaining the series’ core combat identity. That helps explain why the title appears naturally in hardware testing and enthusiast PC coverage, even when the article topic is Nvidia rather than id Software. ### What is the next concrete place to check? (pcgamesn.com) PCGamesN’s Nvidia section and its *Doom: The Dark Ages* tag page are the next places to watch for any follow-up references, benchmarks, or review-linked hardware coverage from Edward Chester and the site’s PC hardware desk.
