As part of the game’s third free update, Doom is getting free-for-all carnage, as well as Private Matches. There’s no date set yet, but they’re pegged for this month.
Private Matches will let you bend the rules and create custom carnage for you and your pals, setting the time limit, score limit and toggling powerups.
Coming in another update this autumn, Arcade Mode will add a score attack layer to the game’s meaty single-player, luring players back in with promises of leaderboard glory.
