Bethesda today announced that its highly-anticipated first-person shooter, DOOM, is now available worldwide for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4. and PC. DOOM – the iconic game that defined a genre and considered one of the most influential games ever made – returns as a brutally fun and challenging modern-day shooter experience.
As I post this the game is finishing installing on Steam, so if you are playing today and see someone online being quite terrible at the game, it’s safe to assume that is me. And while I’m excited for the simple multiplayer (feels old school in scope) I am more about the single-player experience, because, you know, this is DOOM. Be sure to check back for a review soon.
“We’re thrilled to be establishing an all new chapter in the world of DOOM. We set out to create a game that captures the signature feel of DOOM but is built for a modern gaming audience on cutting-edge technology,” said Marty Stratton, executive producer at id Software. “At its core, DOOM is about powerful guns, crazy demons, and fast, relentless gameplay. We believe that fans of the original and new players to the franchise will enjoy all that DOOM has to offer and we can’t wait for everyone to finally get their hands on it.”
DOOM was developed at id Software, the studio that pioneered the first-person shooter genre. Relentless demons, impossibly destructive guns, and fast, fluid movement provide the foundation for intense, first-person combat – whether you’re obliterating demon hordes through the depths of Hell in the single-player campaign, or competing against your friends in numerous multiplayer modes.
