Bethesda has just announced that the multiplayer open beta phase for DOOM will begin on April 15th and will last until April 18th. As the press release reads, this Open Beta will not require a code and players will simply be able to logon to the platform of their choice and download to access Team Deathmatch and Warpath on the Heatwave and Infernal maps.
Bethesda also announced that id Software plans to offer content updates for SnapMap, including map modules; props and objects; additional features and functionality; AI enhancements; editing tool enhancements and more.
Multiplayer will also receive content updates in the form of new game modes.
Both of these SnapMap and multiplayer updates will be free to use and play.
Naturally, Bethesda will also release new DLC priced MP packs for DOOM, but that’s something we’ll be not covering!

what was the point of a closed beta key if it was gonna last for a few days if you gonna go open beta a few days later.
Also if those dlcs are mp i am gonna laugh at how out of touch with reality id software is. Then again it might be bethesda the new dlc for fallout 4 is a utter joke.
They are for the MP mode.
I really hope the single player is fun and interesting and not just running around shooting the same enemies. I preordered because i really liked Wolfenstein, hoping they deliver.
Wolfenstein was made by people who back in the days were responsible for Darkness and The Chronicles of Riddick. Doom, on the other hand, was made by id Software, or what’s left of it. Kinda two different games.
MachineGames made the most recent Wolf, this new Doom is being made by whats left of Id Software. But they are both owned by Bethesda, so id expect some inhouse competition between the tow studios and probably some sharing of experience.

Oh man, for a second I thought we’d get Snapmap in the Open Beta! That would have been a treat since Snapmap is the only thing that might still motivate me to buy this game. Oh well.
F-yeah!
Noice!
