DOOM launch trailer ushers in ultimate brutality

Just so long as you are 18 years of age or older, you may freely view the following video game trailer. Can you imagine this version of DOOM being released back in the early 1990's? Not for the graphics – those are a generation ahead already. For the violence! The gore! The madness that drove our country insane throughout the government's rally against the playing of violent titles altogether! Bethesda wants you to have freedom. Freedom to mash all the monsters you wish, here in the present – DOOM time it is.

I must remind you again – this trailer is violent. You'll see lots of blood, of all sorts. Guts and mayhem. Guns, lots of guns. Smashing of guts. More than you'll ever have wished for. Gruesome madness.

The launch of this game in ernest will take place on May 13th, 2016. From that point on, you may as well toss your keycard for work in the garbage. You won't have time to go back.

DOOM will be launched on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC (Windows) on May 13th, 2016, and it'll require the following – for PC, of course:
