The upcoming Developer_Direct presentation, just two days away, seems to have had its biggest surprise spoiled. A major French gaming site, Gamekult, prematurely published an article revealing a May 15th release date for the highly anticipated DOOM: The Dark Ages. While the article was swiftly removed, its presence was briefly visible in the site's RSS feed.

This leak corroborates earlier reports from insider NateTheHate, who also predicted a May release for DOOM: The Dark Ages. Two independent sources now point to a similar release window.

Microsoft is expected to officially unveil DOOM: The Dark Ages this Thursday during its Developer_Direct presentation. This prequel to the modern DOOM duology offers a medieval setting, but promises the same brutal, hellish action fans have come to expect.
