Friday the 13th will be drenched in blood this year, but not necessarily because of Jason's machete. Demons from Hell await gamers this spring, as Bethesda Softworks has officially announced a May 13th release date for the new DOOM. A collector's edition version of the video game has also been revealed, along with the campaign trailer.
From Bethesda Softworks: "Whether you’re on the surface of Mars or in the fiery depths of Hell, Friday the Thirteenth will be a very big day. On May 13, 2016, you’ll be able to shoot, punch and chainsaw your way through hordes of demons when DOOM launches on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
But why stop with simply destroying demons? If you’re seeking a real demonic possession, then you’ll want to pick up the DOOM collector’s edition. Complete with a 12-inch-tall statue of the fearsome Revenant made from high-quality PVC, the DOOM collector’s edition will add a hellish touch to any room. The Revenant, which was modeled using actual in-game 3D files, stands sentry on a base-lit turbine that slowly rotates internally, casting an eerily flickering glow onto the nightmarish glory of this iconic DOOM demon.
The collector’s edition also includes the full game, safely ensconced in an exclusive metal case. The DOOM collector’s edition will be $119.99 (US), €129.99 (Europe), and £99.99 (UK), and is available for pre-order now. Those who pre-order either the collector’s edition or the standard edition of DOOM will receive the Demon Multiplayer Pack, which includes exclusive multiplayer goodies like a demon armor set with three skin variations, six metallic paint colors and three id logo patterns for your weapons and armor, and a set of six Hack Modules – consumable items that will give you an edge in a multiplayer match."
