id Software Announces DOOM Multiplayer Closed Alpha

If you've redeemed your DOOM Beta code already or have pre-ordered the game, then Bethesda and id Software have some good news! Today they've announced that this weekend will be the DOOM Multiplayer Closed Alpha. A select few people will be picked from those who have registered for the Beta to participate in an Alpha test of the game's early stages of multiplayer. While just a small sample of the game to come, the multiplayer is looking incredibly fun and chaotic, like a mix of old-school twitch shooters with modern graphics and gameplay.

Closed Alpha participants will be chosen from the people who have redeemed their DOOM Beta codes included with some physical retail copies of Wolfenstein: The New Order, and to those who pre-purchased or purchased the game digitally through May 26, 2014.

DOOM is slated for a Spring 2016 release on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

The first DOOM Closed Alpha begins Friday, October 23 at 12:01 ET and runs through Sunday, October 25 at 11:59 ET. Participants will square off in 6v6 Team Deathmatch on the Heatwave map. Using a limited arsenal of 6 weapons and 2 pieces of equipment, players can choose a pre-set loadout or customize their own loadout before jumping into arena-style combat in this industrial-themed map.
