Overdose On ‘Doom’ With Two Hours of Footage
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.
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
