DOOM
is under development at id Software, the studio that pioneered the first-person
shooter genre and invented multiplayer Deathmatch. 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. Expand your gameplay experience using
DOOM
SnapMap game editor to easily create, play, and share your content with the
world. DOOM
will be available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on May 13.
DAY
OF DOOM is being produced in partnership with Bethesda Softworks, YouTube
Gaming, Fullscreen, a global youth media company that develops online creators
and produces multi-platform entertainment experiences, and Fearless Media, a
full
service integrated digital media agency.
