For players interested in testing out Doom's multiplayer, there will be a closed beta available to those who pre-ordered Wolfenstein: The New Order in 2014. The beta runs from March 31 through April 3, and more details can be found here.
Doom will launch on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on May 13.
