Doom paid DLC dated, and Free Update 2 and double XP this weekend

The first paid Doom downloadable addition, Unto the Evil, will be out 5th August on PC, PS4 and Xbox One. It will cost £12.

In Unto the Evil are three new maps - Offering, Cataclysm and Ritual - as well as a new player-controlled Harvester demon, UAC EMG Pistol, and Kinetic Mine. It also includes extra armour sets, patterns, colours and taunts for customisation, and new hack modules. There's an ever-so-brief glimpse of the DLC at the end of the video below.

Before that, tomorrow (29th July), we're getting Free Update 2 and a double-XP weekend, which starts 5pm BST. Free Update 2 brings a Capture and Hold mode to Sector; a one-flag CTF mode to Exodus; and hell modules, a weapon wheel and jump pads to Snapmap.
