We finally know all the multiplayer modes that will be featured in Doom at launch, and budding demonologists will be pleased to hear nearly all of them let you ditch your space marine body to become an unholy beast. If you play online shooters regularly, you'll recognize several genre standbys here - each with some twists to favor Doom's fast, close quarters combat.
Domination mode is a standard "capture the points" match, with random Demon Rune drops to shake things up. Team Deathmatch will also have Demon Runes, though "power-ups and power weapons" will play a big role here (Bethesda says it will explain more about those soon). Last up is Clan Arena, which is your standard Counter-Strike style, respawn-disabled showdown; Clan Arena is also the only announced multiplayer mode to leave out Demon Runes and other pick-ups. Those who prefer playing as skeletons with jetpacks and shoulder-mounted rocket launchers will just have to be satisfied with the five other modes.
Bethesda plans to release Doom on PS4, Xbox One, and PC on May 13. If you pre-ordered Wolfenstein: The New Order way back when, you'll be able to try out Doom's multiplayer early in a closed beta starting March 31.
