Doom's open beta gets release date, Season pass detailed!

[FlareXV]

 

UPDATE: Bethesda's provided us with more precise details on timings for Doom's open beta, which runs from 5am BST on April 15th to 4.59am on the 18th (which means the end of the beta falls on the 17th in the US).

 

ORIGINAL STORY: Doom's recent closed beta is about to widen its arms a little, with an open beta running from April 15th to 18th on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One that'll offer two game modes across two maps.

All of which seems like a fine time for Bethesda to announce its plans for Doom's Season Pass, which will take in three multiplayer packs, the first of which offers three new maps, a new weapon and playable demon alongside new armour, equipment, taunts and customisation colours. Packs can be purchased individually for £11.99, while the Season Pass will cost £29.99.

It's worth pointing out - as Bethesda does in its official press release - that Doom will also feature SnapMap, a level editor that's part of the base game, and it'll also be getting a free content updates after its release. Which, given its release date of May 13th on all platforms, is coming up shockingly soon.

 

 

May the 13th? Damn, May is just too savage of a month to be contained. Uncharted 4, Doom (4), Battleborn and Overwatch! I don't know what to do.

Unfortunately Battleborn looks set to just die. Gearbox were unclear about what the game was at the start, now no one knows what to expect

 

But cool, may have to try DOOM again, hated this past closed beta. Guns were weak as shit.

I would be surprised if the game debuts above 5 on the NPD list. People are starting to get annoyed by all that exclusive stuff  (from both consoles) and the game seriously needs some promoting.

Haha Don't blame them. When they announced it and said it was a MOBA I initially lost interest and ignored it. Then they tried saying it wasn't MOBA, so I got back on board. Then I saw recent gameplay and it basically is a MOBA. It sucks that this has happened, cos i do like Gearbox and their Borderlands series... But hopefully this dies quickly, so they can move onto bigger and better things with Borderlands 3 (with Gortys)

A shame but I agree with you. Gearbox look hungry to make power moves with MS or Sony when their clearly not ready. It's basically a Street Fighter 5 all over again. Maybe they'll shift the release date to june? 

 

With Paragon coming, is Battleborn really the MOBA that people want/need?
