The peaceful month of May is no more. Doom is debuting on May 13.

Bethesda Softworks announced that the remake of the pioneering first-person shooter game Doom will debut worldwide on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on that day as part of an attempt to regain the title of being the most influential video game ever made. When the original Doom came out in 1993, it perfected the first-person shooter computer game and spawned a whole series of sequels and a multibillion-dollar first-person shooter market. The most recent entry in the series, Doom 3, debuted in 2004. To date, more than 10 million copies of Doom have been sold.
