Bethesda has unveiled its first downloadable content (DLC) pack for its console and PC hit Doom. The Unto the Evil DLC pack will debut August 5 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
Doom is a reboot of a 23-year-old franchise that kicked of the first-person shooter craze — some of the most popular games in the blockbuster $99.6 billion global gaming industry — and DLC is a way to keep fans engaged with it. The latest Doom debuted May 13. I considered it to be a first-class reboot of the original.
