DOOM release date announced with pre-order bonuses

Bethesda announced today that DOOM will officially released worldwide on Friday, May 13, 2016.

DOOM was first shown behind closed doors at QuakeCon back in 2014, but was officially debuted to the public back at E3 2015. Since then, we've seen countless gameplay videos and screenshots, making the wait for the intense, first-person shooter unbearable.

In addition to the release date, Bethesda also revealed plans for a premium Collector's Edition fo the game, that will be available globally. This limited collector's edition is being created in conjunction with TriForce, and includes an exclusive, fully-sized 12" tall colelctor's statue of the Revenant, one of the game's most iconic demons. The figure stands on an LED-lit base with internal, slow-spinning turbine from the UAC facility on Mars. The Collector's Edition also includes a copy of the game packaged in a "battle-worthy metal case."

The DOOM Collector’s Edition is available for pre-order through participating retailers and is priced at $119.99 (US), €129.99 (Europe), and £99.99 (UK).

Additionally, anyone who pre-orders either version of DOOM will receive the Demon Multiplayer Pack which contains a unique demon armor set with three skin variations, six metallic paint colors, and three id logo patterns that can be applied to weapons and armor, plus a set of six Hack Modules. These one-time consumable items "can give you an edge in a multiplayer match," Bethesda says.

A trailer accompanied today's announcements. Check it out above.

On a related note, Bethesda announced this week plans to host another showcase at this year's E3. We don't know what will be shown, but with DOOM being out in the wild a month prior, you can probably expect the publisher to at least touch on the first-person shooter.
