A 2025 Denuvo game has finally been cracked

DOOM: The Dark Ages launched in 2025 as id Software’s medieval-styled prequel to DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal, bringing the Slayer into a darker fantasy setting on PC and current-gen consoles.

Now, a screenshot shared online from r/CrackWatch points to a new post titled DOOM.The.Dark.Ages-voices38, tagged as a Denuvo release, with NFO links and an 81GB listed size. That lines up with the game’s Steam release and strongly suggests that a 2025-era Denuvo title has been properly cracked by voices38, rather than only bypassed through a hypervisor-based workaround.

That is the part that makes this one stand out. Recent Denuvo discussion has been filled with hypervisor methods, which usually come with extra setup, BIOS changes, and a far less plug-and-play experience for users. A proper crack is a different story. It points to a cleaner breakthrough, and for PC players following DRM news, it raises bigger questions about how secure newer Denuvo builds really are.

If this holds up as expected, it marks one of the most notable DRM developments of the year so far. More importantly, it is not just another workaround attached to a heavily restricted setup. It looks like a real crack on a 2025 Denuvo release, and that alone is enough to make this a major moment in the wider Denuvo scene.
