We'd like to think that publisher Bethesda is on a roll with the shooters that it's got under its umbrella these days. Much like 2014's Wolfenstein: The New Order, it would appear that DOOM is going to provide a rather meaty single player experience.
The news comes from the title's official Twitter account, where, in reply to an inquisitive fan, developer id Software may have let the campaign's length slip. "The difficulty level plays a factor, but folks playing at the office average 13+ hours in the campaign," the post reads.
If that statistic turns out to be reasonably accurate, DOOM should provide a good amount of bang for your buck, especially when you factor in the game's multiplayer offering and map editing system.
Sound good to you? Do you prefer longer single player campaigns, or are you happier with shorter bursts of action? Reload in the comments section below.

This feels like a Slayer moment.
Very good to hear. All games should have both.
13 hours sounds pretty decent to me. Would like to see some new game + elements involved to give reasons for people who feel its a little short to perhaps play it again. Then we get a 26 hour campaign
Maybe something like Resident Evil's system of unlocking items/weapons or 'Tales of' series use of grade to unlock perks to use for higher difficulties. Would certainly add some longevity to the game.
@General_Spiller You have that in the wolfenstein games, although there's only a few upgrades.
I'm hearing the multiplayer is good fun as well so that should help. And there was something mentioned about creating and sharing your own maps. Not sure if tha part is console or PC only.
Would like to see some footage of someone properly playing through a level now to get an idea of how the game plays rather than all the heavily edited stuff they've been putting out there.
I demand 1000+ hours!! Greedy devs!!
My one and only issue is a lack of campaign co op. Won't stop me from buying, but for me at least it's exclusion is a big let down.
Considering that its a FPS game, I think 13 hours of single player campaign sounds awesome! Too bad Doom its not my cup of tea.
Sounds perfect to me, I'm getting tired of 100+ hour playthroughs. I actually can't wait for DOOM.
If it's actually 13 hours, I'll be very pleased. Most FPS aren't half that.
Long for a fps, bit not long at all. I think games should be around 40 hrs.
That's an infinite % amount more campaign than battlefront
@Churchy That guy on the bottom right looks like Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
