People who pre-ordered Wolfenstein: The New Order have been blasting their way around Doom's closed beta since March 31. Soon everyone will be able to join them: open beta falls April 15-18, no codes required.
Three DLC packs will follow launch on May 13 and, depending on how Bethesda handles matchmaking between owners and non-owners, their contents may not be well received. The first pack which goes live in summer includes:
- Three new maps
- One new weapon
- One new playable demon
- One new armour set
- One new piece of equipment
- New hack modules and taunts
- New customization colours and patterns
Historically, splitting a playerbase with premium maps has not been advisable, but we're also promised free updates in the form of game modes and expansions of the SnapMap level editor. Should you want a season pass, it'll run you up £30/$40. Individually, DLC is £12/$15.
Having made their way into the closed beta, Tom and Phil can clue you in on the good, the bad and the demons.
