Doom Eternal Launch Day Buying Guide: Special Editions, Doom Slayer Figure, And More

Doom Eternal, which builds on the success of the 2016 Doom reboot that revitalized the franchise, is finally out on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, with the Nintendo Switch version launching later this year. Eternal adds a number of new and classic demons, guns, and tricks for players to pull off, making the series' frantic shootouts even more engaging than ever. For our impressions on how the final version of the game fares, check out GameSpot's Doom Eternal review-in-progress.

Developer id Software also announced that the multiplayer Invasion Mode, which lets you enter another player's game and play as a demon, will be released as a free update after launch. In addition, Doom 64 is available to download for free on all platforms for those who secured their copy of Doom Eternal early.

Doom Eternal also features an asymmetrical multiplayer mode called Battlemode. In Battlemode, one player will fight as the Doom Slayer, while two other players will control demons. The demons can summon more allies to help them take down the Doom Slayer. Meanwhile, the Doom Slayer has access to some incredibly powerful firearms, explosives, and blades, so don't expect it to be an easy fight.

Doom Eternal has a couple of special editions to be aware of, including a Collector's edition that comes with an actual Doom Slayer helmet. Read on for more info about purchasing Doom Eternal, including its pre-order bonuses, various editions, and price. Plus, check back after you dive into the game for our full Doom Eternal walkthrough, tips, and guides.

Doom Eternal pre-order bonuses

Doom Eternal's universal pre-order bonus was the Rip and Tear Pack, which includes the Doot Revenant Skin, the Throwback Shotgun Weapon Skin, and a bonus campaign level that's a remixed version of "Cultist Base," with "new challenges and surprises." There's also a free digital copy of Doom 64.

As of this writing, most retailers still include the pre-order bonus on their store listings, though this could be a mistake. If you're itching to grab these bonuses, it's worth asking your local retailer.

As you might assume, the standard edition of Doom Eternal just comes with the game itself. Right now, the cheapest places to order Doom Eternal are Amazon and Walmart, which have it for just under $50.

Update: Bethesda has updated fans that the Doom Eternal Collector's edition will not contain the soundtrack for Doom Eternal at release, as it's "not yet complete." Fans will receive a digital code for the Doom (2016) official game soundtrack, and as soon as the Doom Eternal soundtrack is available, all Collector's edition owners will be notified.

With 22 moving parts, the 7-inch action figure features the Doom Slayer in his space marine armor and comes with a base, the Super Shotgun, extended arm blade, and sheathed arm blade. It'll also come packaged in Doom-themed window box packaging, making an eye-catching addition to any gamer's collection.
