January 24, 7.43am ET - GameStop has entered the fray in the US and I'm seeing more Premium Edition pre-orders on the shelves this morning as well. Stock has also gone live at Xbox and ShopTo in the UK, though we're still waiting for other stores to open their doors.
Doom: The Dark Ages pre-orders are officially live, after the game's full release date was formally announced during this week's Xbox Developer Direct showcase. The next slayer game will land on our shelves on May 15, but the doors are now open to get your early order in - whether you play across PS5, Xbox, or PC. That's right, Bethesda may be under Microsoft's wing now, but Doom: The Dark Ages is launching at the same time across all platforms.
Best Buy has launched standard edition Doom: The Dark Ages pre-orders in the US, and that price is sitting pretty standard at $69.99 - it also comes with a free Doom Slayer Skin to boot. Meanwhile, the UK is looking a little lackluster, with only a couple of retailers launching their stock so far.
The prequel takes things back to a more grounded combat system, promising all the grunt and grunge of the originals. New mechanics, weapons, and glory kills are on the cards here, with less of a focus on jumping and boosting and more on steadfast bullet hell.
Doom: The Dark Ages pre-orders launch with a standard edition at $69.99 / £69.99 but there's also a Premium Edition ($99.99) and Collector's Bundle ($199.99) available as well. Xbox players can grab theirs direct via Microsoft's Store and PlayStation players can grab their orders at PS Direct. We're still waiting on more information for console offers on the Collector's bundle, though PC pre-orders are live at Bethesda's own store.

Doom: The Dark Ages pre-order bundles
The standard edition Doom: The Dark Ages pre-order comes with a free Void Doom Slayer Skin at launch, but if you want more goodies you'll be looking at the Premium and Collectors Editions.
The Premium Edition includes early access to the full release two days before launch, as well as three extra 'Divinity' skins, extra campaign DLC, a digital artbook, and the soundtrack on top of the game. The Premium Edition comes in at $99.99.
The Collector's Bundle packs all that Premium Edition content as well as a 12-inch Doom Slayer Statue, a replica key card, and a steelbook case. That bundle packs a punch at $199.99.
