Here’s a New ‘DOOM’ Trailer for You to Throw Up Over

This content has been commissioned by Bethesda.

I hope you've eaten your lunch (or dinner, or even breakfast) already – and that it's been digested well enough to not reappear once you get the new trailer for the upcoming reboot of DOOM into your eyeholes.

Have a look, if you're up to it.

Looks… Well, it looks like a whole lot of rock 'n' roll fun, doesn't it? Which is precisely what its makers at id Software are gunning for, with the studio's creative director Hugo Martin telling Game Informer (via Gamespot) that the gore-splattered shooter that "rock 'n' roll was our inspiration for everything… There is a lot of heavy metal in our hell, and that is intentional."

Yep, seems pretty sick(ening) to us.

The game's publishers, Bethesda, have confirmed that the new DOOM will be available for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on May 13th, which is a little sooner than some games media sorts, myself included, were anticipating (I was sure it'd be a post-E3 launch, for some reason). Promising incredibly fast deathmatches-and-more multiplayer options on top of a campaign that'll see your modern-day Doomguy blast their way through the demonic denizens of Hell itself, I've got to say that I'm pretty bloody excited about the return of this FPS legend. Which isn't to say you need to be all grey around the temples to "get" this – quite clearly, this is DOOM for the 21st century, harnessing the power of today's hardware and emphasising all the mature-audiences-only grisly aesthetics that made the 1993 original such a must-play title.

Hardcore fans with money weighing them down can lighten their load by ordering the DOOM collector's edition, an image of which you can see above. You get yourself the game, obviously, plus a 12" statue of a revenant demon (if they're unfamiliar to you now, play the game a while and you'll soon get to know them inside out, literally). The statue's base is set with LEDs, and will basically look hard as nails next to all those amiibos in your den/study/hallway/bathroom.

That fancy-pants big-boy-toy version will set you back £99.99 in the UK, $119.99 in the US, and €129.99 in countries that use the Euro. People who pre-order either the collector's or standard edition of the game pick themselves up the Demon Multiplayer Pack with exclusive skins and more visual perks to show off when you're murdering other virtual humans being controlled by actual over the internet. Loads more information is yours to drink up at the official DOOM website. And you should probably get something down you, once you've wiped your laptop off.
