DOOM Multiplayer Alpha Test Dates Revealed

After Bethesda opening up the alpha sign-ups for DOOM last week, they have announced the dates for the alpha which will begin Friday, October 23rd. All across Xbox One, PC, and Playstation 4. The testing period opens at 12:01 EDT and runs through Sunday, October 25, at 11:59 PM EDT. Alpha testers will get to play 6v6 team deathmatch games on a map called Heatwave. The alpha will let you try out six weapons and two pieces of equipment. There are multiple “game-changer” items on the map.

• The Demon Rune, which can turn the tide of a battle by transforming a player into a bad-ass Revenant fully loaded with dual rocket launchers and a jetpack.
• The Gauss Cannon, a high-powered weapon that can destroy a foe in a single blast.
• Power-ups like Quad Damage and Invisibility – you can guess what each of these does.

The Doom beta will begin in 2016.
