Better start stocking up on ammo, because DOOM finally has a confirmed release date. The new-gen shooter has looked great in the footage that we've seen of it so far, with chaotic, brutal battles against ugly, ugly enemies taking precedence over the usual bells and whistles that so many shooters get bogged down with these days.
The game's out on the 13th May, and its latest trailer is, unsurprisingly, stuffed with blood, gruesome takedowns, and heavy guitars. What's more, Bethesda's announced that a collector's edition will be up for grabs at launch, while features a statue of the title's revenant enemy and a metal case. It'll apparently set you back a hefty $119/£99. Meanwhile, those who pre-order the release will get their hands on a bunch of multiplayer downloadable content, including skins, paint colours, emblems, and consumables. Pretty standard stuff, we suppose.

Their web site say £129.99 for collectors edition and the order part is not open yet. But that a crazy price for a piece of plastic standard edition for me after reading reviews.
You know what? This game is everything I hate, but I think it looks flippin' fantastic!
Way too expensive but the game looks good. I also would have expected a Cyberdemon instead of a Revenant. I blame DiCaprio
This game loops dope and everything I want in an FPS. Day One!
The alpha was great so I'm most certainly getting this. Glad it's got a full release date - even if it has the usual collector's edition and pre-order silliness bolted on.
Old school Doom was amazing. This looks promising, I've heard good things might have to get it on release. Not interested in buying a plastic model though. Soundtrack yes, everything else, not so much.
Doom was good in the past think I will give this one a miss.
Looks swish.
@Churchy I loved the alpha too, day one for me. I'm even tempted to get the high end version!
Game looks fun and frenetic but also seems quite shallow too. I am still unsure about the 'story' itself and whether its superficial or actually has a bit more depth. I don't know if I am all that bothered about the MP either - it seems a bit vacuous. Fun in small doses - the kind of game you put on after coming home late at night after being at the pub.
I still will probably buy it - its DOOM after all and have all the other Dooms. I actually prefer Doom 3 because it has a story!
Day 1 buy and biggest game this year! the e3 presentation was first class. The Doom level editor will be awesome, looking back to mods for Doom 2. I cant wait.
It looks good, but I'm hoping it has a little substance and not just running and gunning. Not that I mind that entirely, and honestly they could go way overboard with the substance and end up with something like Doom 3, which was essentially a decent but very undoom like game. So, what I'm saying is it's got the impossible to achieve. Good luck, doom!
@AhabSpampurse Glad to see someone got some alpha action too. Twas good fun indeed - I'm a little wary of collector's editions personally - but if you want it go ahead!
Well it's a Bethesda joint, so I'm in.
I still fondly remember playing the (awesome) PS1 version of Doom, with its amazingly creepy and atmospheric soundtrack.
DOOM IS GOING TO MAKE GAMING GREAT AGAIN!
wow.. they are not saving this for their E3 event? I tot this will be their focus this year.. what else can they present in E3..
@whywai88 My guess would be Dishonoured 2, Elder Scrolls card game, Tamriel unlimited expansion. Maybe a new Wolfenstein, Evil Within 2 and Prey 2.
Looks awesome!!!
@whywai88 the game comes out before e3 thou
Like others here - Day 1,Definitely my most anticipated game this year - Its going to be bananas
this looks awesome, and really tough.
Loved the originals 1 & 2. But this is too bloody and gory for me. Might as well call it blood fest. Sick imagination. One on my avoid list!
There's only one word that can aptly describe the upcoming Doom - glorious. I've been hyped since the E3 footage last year. Can't wait for some old school fragging.
