Doom Release Date
UPDATE: Bethesda's provided us with more precise details on timings for Doom's open beta, which runs from 5am BST on April 15th to 4.59am on the 18th (which means the end of the beta falls on the 17th in the US).
Bethesda is meticulously preparing the release of Doom revealing a unique gameplay video. This is dedicated to the multiplayer mode that should be available to you during the next closed beta which will take place from will start Thursday, March 31, at 10 p.m. PT and run through Sunday, April 3, at 11:59 p.m. PT on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. The next installment of the video game series Doom, now has a beta coming to the PC, Xbox One, and PS4. Search Doom Beta With Wolfenstein Release Date Unknown; Title to Head to PS4, Xbox One, and PC. The Doom 4 release date is being teased in the form of a beta included with the newest Wolfenstein, giving rise to expectations that a Doom 4 2014 launch time frame is likely. Unfortunately, the FAQ on Bethseda’s website is kind of vague on when the beta will start, other than saying it’ll be announced later on. Let’s just hope it’s not another Duke Nukem (taking) Forever (to develop).
ORIGINAL STORY: Doom's recent closed beta is about to widen its arms a little, with an open beta running from April 15th to 18th on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One that'll offer two game modes across two maps.
All of which seems like a fine time for Bethesda to announce its plans for Doom's Season Pass, which will take in three multiplayer packs, the first of which offers three new maps, a new weapon and playable demon alongside new armour, equipment, taunts and customisation colours. Packs can be purchased individually for £11.99, while the Season Pass will cost £29.99.
It's worth pointing out - as Bethesda does in its official press release - that Doom will also feature SnapMap, a level editor that's part of the base game, and it'll also be getting a free content updates after its release. Which, given its release date of May 13th on all platforms, is coming up shockingly soon.
