id Software has announced that there will be an open beta test for DOOM running from April 15th to April 18th.

These maps and modes are just a fraction of what players will experience when the game launches May 13th.

Support for DOOM doesn't end when the game is out. For the rest of the year, we expect to provide certain free content updates across SnapMap and multiplayer.

Along with free content, Doom will haves three premium multiplayer DLC packs following its launch. These will include "a number of new maps, hack modules, playable demons, weapons, and more." Each DLC pack will cost $14.99. A season pass will also be available for $39.99.

The first premium DLC pack are as follows:

Three new maps
One new weapon
One new playable demon
One new armour set
One new piece of equipment
New hack modules and taunts
New customization colours and patterns

Doom is due out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC worldwide on May 13 - Beta info here.

People are disappointed, its not a Doom we remember.

I think all this will reflect to a singleplayer as well.

You could be right. I was not overly impressed with this beta.

Beta extended - Y'all can play today also!

I personally didnt play the OBT since I've already tried the CBT. For me Doom isnt multiplayer, sure it was back in the days with Doom2 but that was very different. We didn't buy Doom 3 for MP right? Will be the same thing this time, for me at least.

I'm sure idSoftware will do a much better job with MP when they announce Quake 5 (which they will at some point).

I think this is a "test" by id and I think they can get away with bad MP since it's Doom and not Quake. I'm hope that they see our reactions and will go back to basics next time. Old School is what we want (worked well for Wolfenstein right?).
