'DOOM' (ALL) Update 2 Tomorrow, Double XP Weekend, Unto the Evil DLC Date - Trailer

by Rainier on July 28, 2016 @ 12:37 p.m. PDT

DOOM returns as a brutally fun and challenging modern-day shooter experience.

This week on July 29, we look forward to releasing Free Update 2, which includes two new multiplayer game modes.

Exodus is a one-flag capture-the-flag mode with an added twist of constantly moving bases and flags. Sector is an objective-based capture-and-hold mode where players compete to take control of zones and then hold them to score points. Both modes can be played on any existing or future maps.

This update also adds some tremendous tools and fun new capabilities for SnapMap fans, including: customizable weapon wheel functionality – so players can carry and select multiple weapons, just like the campaign; jump pads with logic to set distance, speed and direction; 30 brand-new Hell-themed modules; an expanded weapon list; a new playable demon – the Mancubus – as well as a laundry list of improvements to the Community HUB, editor and logic capabilities.

These new modes and all of the SnapMap content and updates are free to all players.

Starting tomorrow is a Double XP weekend for DOOM’s multiplayer content, running from 12:00pm ET, and ending at 12:00pm ET on August 1st.

With the launch of Unto the Evil and the introduction of several new maps, we also want to keep our community playing together, so we’re introducing a feature of DLC we call PartyPlay. Here’s how it works: If you haven’t purchased the premium DLC and a map comes up that you don’t have, but you’re currently in a party with another player who has purchased the DLC, you’ll be allowed to continue playing. Conversely, if you have purchased a premium DLC pack, anyone in your party can play any of the maps from the DLC as long as they’re with you.

Multiplayer - Unto the Evil

  • Three new multiplayer maps: Offering, Cataclysm and Ritual
  • A new player-controlled demon: Harvester
  • A new weapon: UAC EMG Pistol
  • New equipment: Kinetic Mine
  • New ways to customize your Doom marine, including additional armor sets, patterns, colors and taunts
  • New hack modules

Unto the Evil will be available worldwide on August 5th for PS4, Xbox One, and PC for $14.99 / £11.99 / €14.99 / A$23.95.

Of course our work doesn’t stop with these updates. We’re currently hard at work on an arcade-style scoring mode with leaderboards for players who want to continue to test their skills in the campaign maps. Plus, we can’t wait to release three new free-for-all modes later this summer including the highly requested deathmatch – not to mention additional updates, premium DLC and free SnapMap features and content.
