Doom Collector's Edition - PlayStation 4
New Doom launches May 13, including $120 collector’s edition
The wait for "spring 2016" just got a little more specific and easier to bear, as Bethesda Softworks has announced its Doom reboot will be released on PS4, Xbox One, and Windows on May 13. Players will be able to buy the game for $60 or invest in a $120 collectors edition that includes a 12-inch Revenant demon statue and a metal case. Players who decide to put their money down early will get a "Demon Multiplayer Pack" as a pre-order bonus, a package that includes a number of cosmetic upgrades and six "Hack Modules" that can be used for a one-time boost in multiplayer.
Today's announcement comes alongside a new campaign trailer, shown above, which... actually doesn't tell us that much about the game's campaign. Instead, the jumpcut-filled trailer is packed with lots of extremely gory shooting action and almost no indication that the game has an actual plotline to speak of. Which is kind of how it should be when it comes to Doom.
The game originally known as Doom 4 was first announced way back in 2008 and was largely unseen by the public during its long and reportedly troubled development. The game was eventually renamed to just Doom and first shown off in its new form at Quakecon 2014.
This will be the first Doom game completed without the help of series co-creator John Carmack, who left id Software to become CTO of Oculus in 2013. Those who preordered Wolfenstein: The New Order back in 2014 will be able to access a closed beta for the new game, though there are still no details on when exactly that beta will take place.
