Lengthy Doom Campaign Will Give Players A Hell-Raising Experience

DOOM players can expect a campaign which lasts around 13 hours, according to id Software.

The series reboot will launch on May 13 for Xbox One, Playstation 4 and PC, and is the first Doom game since 2004.

Doom is coming out in May

Plenty of iconic characters and weapons are returning, including Revenant and the BFG 9000, with 'Doom SnapMap' allowing gamers to create their own maps and game modes.

And for those worried about any focus on multiplayer over the campaign can relax, with id Software confirming a whopping 13 hours of gameplay for single player.

A message on Twitter read: "The difficulty level plays a factor, but folks playing at the office average 13+ hours in the campaign."

Bethesda have already launched a trailer for the highly-anticipated campaign, explaining: "As the iconic Doom Marine, you wake to learn that the Union Aerospace Corporation's facility on Mars has been decimated and overrun by horde of demons. Humanity's survival rests in your hands – and your hands alone.

"In Doom's campaign, there is no taking cover or stopping to regenerate health as you beat back Hell's raging demon hordes. Combine your arsenal of futuristic and iconic guns, upgrades, movements and an advanced melee system to knock down, slash, stomp, crush and blow apart demons in creative and violent ways."

The campaign clocks in at over 13 hours

id Software Executive Producer Martin Stratton has added that Doom will feature non-linear exploration, revealing: "If you come into Doom to have amazing combat, then I really think people are going to enjoy themselves. We've spent so much time to try to get that right, to try to get the challenge of it right, the difficulty which has been ratcheted up since you've played.

"We've actually dialled up the difficulty and we've seen as people played it that they want this. It's an action shooter, so your roller coaster ride in this game is about how challenging those fights are.

"It's super fun when you're dividing into these arenas and that's challenging. You may get your ass kicked but come later with a different strategy.

"That's what Doom is about. It's not about canned set pieces, cinematic sequences… the roller coaster is about the action and the combat and it's a blast. Making sure those highs are really high and those lows are low is kind of what we've done.

"The marine doesn't have a name. Story hasn't been the focus of development, the combat has, but I would say we've injected quite a bit more, for people who want to find it and get a little more on how the Doom marine is where we hope he heads, it's there for people to find.

The game also features non-linear exploration

"I like it, I think it's cool stuff and I think it's more so than we've had in other Doom games and I'm excited to see people's reactions to it.

"When you think about Doom and Doom 2, particularly the further you got into the game, there's a lot of getting lost. It's just these mazes that you can get lost in, in a good way as you're searching around for secrets, keycards, pickups and all the goodies. There is definitely that aspect to it.

"I wouldn't say that we focused on making sure that people got lost, there's a way out to get to that next combat, which is really what the focus of the game is, getting to that next horde of demons that you can take out. But the exploration is really fun, there's a pretty good sense of that non-linear exploration."

Meanwhile, gamers can get their hands on a special collector's edition of Doom, which comes with a metal case and a 12-inch-tall statue of the Revenant.

An official statement also revealed those who pre-order the game will receive the Demon Multiplayer Pack: "Exclusive multiplayer goodies like a demon armour set with three skin variations, six metallic paint colours and three id logo patterns for your weapons and armour, and a set of six Hack Modules – consumable items that will give you an edge in a multiplayer match."
