Doom’s closed alpha sign-up now open to those who bought Wolfenstein: The New Order

Bethesda today announced that Doom is now accepting sign-ups for its closed alpha.

The only condition to sign-up is that you need to have pre-ordered Doom or purchased Wolfenstein: The New Order before 26 May 2014.

The alpha, described as a “stress test” by Bethesda, will be available on PS4, Windows PC and Xbox One. Separate from an announced beta, a date for the closed alpha was not detailed. We do know what’s inside it, described below:

One Map: Heatwave – This industrial-themed map will place players in an arena setting featuring plenty of armor, ammo, and health pickups. Narrow corridors, walkways and small chambers all link to a central, open area of the map, providing players with a variety of environments that suit varying playstyles, as well as the focus point for fighting over key power-ups.

One Mode: 6v6 Team Deathmatch – In this mode, two teams of 6 players will try to dominate each other by fighting over the Revenant and Gauss Rifle power-ups, which provide devastating firepower that can turn the tide or ensure victory.

One Demon: Revenant – Being the first player to the Demon Rune will transform you into the powerful Revenant. Use your jetpack and dual rocket launchers to hunt down the other team for a limited time to either secure your team’s lead or mount a comeback.

One Power Weapon: Gauss Cannon – Available as a counter to the Revenant, this high-powered weapon destroys opponents in one blast. Use the alternate fire to see your targets through walls, but be warned, there is a limited number of shots, so use it to take down the demon rather than enemy players. Once you’re out of ammo, you have to wait for it to appear on the map again.

Six Weapons (can be used both in standard and customizable loadouts): Vortex Rifle, Super Shotgun, Repeater, Rocket Launcher, Static Cannon, Plasma Rifle

Two Equipment Items: Personal Teleporter and Frag Grenade
