Given it’s pioneering status amongst first-person shooters, DOOM is one of the more obvious candidates for amodern day reboot. And, finally, after its initial announcement way back in 2008, we have a look at the game’s campaign mode — this after last year’s initial look at the fast-paced gameplay. As Bethesda puts it:
As the iconic DOOM Marine, you wake to learn that the Union Aerospace Corporation’s facility on Mars has been decimated and overrun by hordes of demons. Humanity’s survival rests in your hands – and your hands alone. Fight Like Hell.
In DOOM’s campaign, there is no taking cover or stopping to regenerate health as you beat back Hell’s raging demon hordes. Combine your arsenal of futuristic and iconic guns, upgrades, movement and an advanced melee system to knock down, slash, stomp, crush, and blow apart demons in creative and violent ways.
Featuring some of the best graphics of all time thanks to Bethesda’s id Tech 6 engine, DOOM is set to hit PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC May 13.
