Update 6.66 Brings New ‘DOOM’ Goodies, Including Free Season Pass

Published

So, we all know that 2016’s DOOM is a badass return to the glory that was the original. id and Bethesda have been doing a great job supporting the game with free updates, and have implied that even more content is coming (in addition to the recently-announced DOOM VFR). And with the latest update (Update 6.66, in case you’re wondering), it looks to be starting.

Announced on Bethesda’s blog, DOOM‘s Season Pass content will be made free for all players in Update 6.66. The pass includes three map packs (nine maps in all), three additional guns, three additional playable demons, and new equipment. As well, the progression system that’s used in multiplayer has been revamped, with a focus on unlocking equipment via completing challenges, instead of levelling up. The Hack Module system has now been replaced with a new Rune System, which doesn’t expire or need to be activated like the Hack Modules. Lastly, the in-game multiplayer HUD has been revised to allow for more detail in match breakdowns, progression options, equipment characteristic and more.

As an extra bonus, for those of you who still don’t own the game, id will be having a free weekend for players to try out the game’s singleplayer and multiplayer modes. If you decide to buy the game after that, all your progress will be carried over to the purchased version. The free weekend will start at 12:00 pm ET on Thursday, July 20, on Xbox One, 1pm ET on Thursday, July 20 on PC, and 12:00 pm ET on Thursday, July 27 on PlayStation 4. And, if you do decide to purchase the game, you’ll be able to grab it for the reduced price of $14.99 USD.

Rip and f*cking tear.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
