Death: Dark centuries He moves the boundaries of the series not only with its dark medieval atmosphere, but also the size of the levels. According to the game director Hugo Martin, this will be the largest space that they once created in the ID software, but at the same time they will remain compact and lively.

In an interview with Edge Martin, Martin explained that the level of level should correspond to the game style – players need enough space for tactical battle, for example, to avoid attacks. Nevertheless, we cannot expect giant open worlds, where players roam for two hours without action.

“I don’t know if anyone wants to play at the same level of death within two hours. We want to maintain intensive experience, so about an hour is the perfect length ” – Martin explained. If you want to investigate everything, you can spend more time searching for secrets.

Each level should have Significantly different parts – For example, you start in a dark underground prison, but the other half of the level opens into a wider space, where the gameplay changes dynamically.

The developers were inspired when weapons were created on medieval instruments tortureFor example, you can use a hammer with a giant surge.
