Here we are, with less than two weeks between us and the new Doom. We’ve known about this game for some time, we know about its troubled development, and we’ve seen — or played, if you got in on one of its multiplayer betas — enough of it to have a pretty good idea of the game that id Software will deliver on May 13.
There’s not a lot standing in its way either. May has a solid offering of horror games for us to anticipate, but Doom stands out among them as the only new release — a lone reboot surrounded by remasters (Sylvio, Dead Island Definitive Edition) and re-releases (The Park, Neverending Nightmares, Oxenfree).
In a recent livestream, id Software’s Marty Stratton and Hugo Martin took the Internet on a guided tour through a considerable portion of the game’s solo mode, which you can get familiar with in the video below.

SnapMap is the new multi-platform modding toolset that’ll come bundled with Doom (on PC, PS4 and Xbox One). It may be the most exciting things about the game, if only because it’s what’ll keep it new and interesting six months after its release when we’ve vanquished the campaign and had our fill with the multiplayer.
Below you’ll find another hour of footage featuring Tom Muscatine of the SnapMap team.
