Guts, guns and heavy metal. The original DOOM proved that these are all you need to create a great game and define a genre. While there have been some poorly phrased arguments about the quality of the box art, the game itself looks amazing and I’m sure most of us are looking forward to it.
The only problem is we were sort of left in the dark as to when we would actually be able to get our hands on the game. Well, stumble along no longer. DOOM will be released on the 13th of May 2016 which is a lot sooner than most would have expected. I hope you’re all ready to get into the thick of things once DOOM releases.

DOOM Collector’s Edition and Pre-Order Bonuses Revealed
for id Software’s Highly-Anticipated First-Person Shooter
February 4, 2016 (Johannesburg, SA) – Bethesda Softworks®, a ZeniMax® Media company, today announced that DOOM will be available worldwide on Friday, May 13, 2016 for the Xbox One, PlayStation® 4 computer entertainment system, 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.
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 garnered numerous E3 2015 awards and in a recent preview, Game Informer aptly described the gameplay as “an absolute blast.”

Bethesda also revealed plans to release a premium collector’s edition of DOOM that will be available across the globe through participating retailers. The limited DOOM collector’s edition, created in conjunction with TriForce, includes an exclusive, fully-realized 12″ tall collector’s statue of one of the game’s most iconic demons: the Revenant. Modeled from actual in-game 3D files and striking in appearance, the demonic Revenant stands on an LED-lit base with internal, slow-spinning turbine from the UAC facility on Mars. The DOOM collector’s edition also includes a copy of the game packaged in an exclusive, battle-worthy metal case.
The DOOM collector’s edition is extremely limited and available for pre-order exclusively through Takealot.com for PS4 , XB1 and PC . You can also pre-order the Stander Edition through Takealot for PS4 , XB1 and PC . Players pre-ordering the DOOM collector’s edition or the standard edition of the game will receive the Demon Multiplayer Pack which contains a unique demon armour set with three skin variations, six metallic paint colours and three id® logo patterns that can be applied to weapons and armour, plus a set of six Hack Modules – one-time consumable items that can give you an edge in a multiplayer match.
