Doom 3 BFG Edition launches in Europe on 19th October 2012, Bethesda has announced.

It launches on PC for £19.99 / €29.99 and on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 for £29.99 / €39.99.

The new version includes the original Doom and Doom 2, Doom 3 and its expansion Resurrection of Evil plus The Lost Mission, a never-before-seen single-player story for Doom 3 spread over seven fresh levels. Re-mastered graphics, support for 3D and head-mounted displays, 5.1 surround sound, improved rendering and lighting will also feature. Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions will, naturally, include Achievements/Trophies.

There's also a new checkpoint save system for "smoother progression" through the game, plus an armour-mounted flashlight, allowing players to illuminate dark corners and kill enemies at the same time.
