The shooter classic Doom is now available in a new form for PC, Playstation 4, and XBox One – complete with multiplayer and map editor.
As Bethesda Softworks announces, Doom will be released on May 13 for the three platforms. This is a “remake” of the online shooter that essentially established the first-person shooter genre in the 90s. The last Doom game, Doom 3, was released in 2004. It’s time for something new.
The video here shows clips from the campaign:
Doom is being developed by id Software in Texas. They were also involved in the original title, albeit with a different cast.
The new Doom will feature multiplayer deathmatches, relentless, ever-resurrecting demons, and a variety of destructive weapons. Players can also create maps using the Doom SnapMap editor and share them.
Doom is a successful franchise, having distributed over 10 million titles, as Bethesda announced. Early journalists who have played Doom say: Doom is significantly brighter, with bolder colors than the dark Doom 3. And they believe: This could be one of the hottest titles in 2016.
