New gameplay video and free update details revealed for DOOM

Not only is there a new set of downloadable content coming for DOOM, but there’s also a free update hitting home too. Want to check out all the details?

Free update 5 adds in a number of free (hence the name of the update) and rather key features to DOOM’s Multiplayer and SnapMap modes on Xbox One, PS4 and PC. It delivers a new game mode, the addition of bots and allows for the overall multiplayer rank to extend further.

Full details are as follows:

Multiplayer

• Infernal Run – a new competitive game mode where teams fight for control of the ball and score in the opponent’s goal.
• Bots – available on original multiplayer maps in Team Deathmatch and Deathmatch game modes.
• Multiplayer rank now extends to Echelon 11 – once you reach the new highest ranking, you’ll unlock the signature DOOM Marine Armor (Praetor Suit)!

SnapMap

• Play as the DOOM Marine in the DOOM Marine Armor (Praetor Suit).
• More elements from the campaign, allowing you to play and create even more campaign-like experiences.
• Lazarus Lab themed modules and props.

To celebrate the addition of the new multiplayer additions that Free Update 5 brings, you’ll find that there is now Double XP on offer for all those getting involved in the mulitplayer side of DOOM. You’ll need to be quick though for the chance to earn extra XP ends at 5pm GMT on 12th December.

But that’s not all as Bethesda have also announced that the third and final premium DLC pack for DOOM will arrive on December 15th 2016 for Xbox One, PS4 and PC. ‘Bloodfall’ will bring three new maps and the chance to turn invisible as the Spectre Pinky demon. We’ll be sure to remind you when that time comes, but for now, the trailer below is well worth a watch.
