As announced by id-Software and Bethesda Softworks, DOOM is getting Free Update 5.
The update will be available today at 12PM ET. During the maintenance, window servers will be ofline. But nothing to worry about at 4PM ET everything is going to be back to normal.
DOOM’s Free Update 5 will concern multiplayer and SnapMap. In addition new game mode Infernal Run is added. What I find very interesting is the AI’s are added for multiplayer. Now they are available in Team Deathmatch and Deathmatch game modes. Below you can find the full list of DOOM’s Free Update 5.
