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.

You’ve come here for a reason. The Union Aerospace Corporation’s massive research facility on Mars is overwhelmed by fierce and powerful demons, and only one person stands between their world and ours.  As the lone DOOM Marine, you’ve been activated to do one thing – kill them all.   

As announced earlier this month, Bethesda has rolled out Free Update 3, adding Deathmatch and Private Matches.

Deathmatch is a hectic mode that forgoes the comforts of team-based combat. Players must rely solely on their own individual skill to come out on top, with no teammates or Demon Runes to help them out. In Deathmatch, it’s every Marine for himself, so be prepared to Fight Like Hell.

Free Update #3 also includes another highly requested feature: the ability to create your own Private Matches in multiplayer. Now you can customize matches by selecting the maps and modes you want, while adjusting game elements like the time limit, score limit, or whether you want to play with or without Demon Runes.

If that wasn’t enough, we’re kicking off a Double XP Weekend starting this Friday, September 23, at 12pm ET until Monday, September 26, at 12pm ET.

For a full list of the features and improvements found in Free Update #3, check out the patch notes below:

• Return of id Multiplayer: Dominate your opponents in DOOM’s signature, fast-paced arena-style combat. In both classic and all-new game modes, annihilate your enemies utilizing your personal blend of skill, powerful weapons, vertical movement, and unique power-ups that allow you to play as a demon.
• Endless Possibilities: DOOM SnapMap – a powerful, but easy-to-use game and level editor – allows for limitless gameplay experiences on every platform.  Without any previous experience or special expertise, any player can quickly and easily snap together and visually customize maps, add pre-defined or completely custom gameplay, and even edit game logic to create new modes.  Instantly play your creation, share it with a friend, or make it available to players around the world – all in-game with the push of a button.
