Early planning and development began in August 2007, and continued into 2017 with the release of patches, {{wp|downloadable content}} packs, and planned updates. The game features a story detailing the invasion of the [[UAC]] [[UAC Mars Base|Mars Base]] by the forces of [[Hell]].

The new Doom has been built on an engine which id Software has dubbed [[id Tech 6]], a successor to their {{wp|id Tech 5|id Tech 5}} engine. Its gameplay resembles the action-oriented tone of the [[Doom games|classic Doom games]] much more than the [[Doom 3#Criticism|horror style]] of ''[[Doom 3]]'',{{cite web archived|author=Chalk, Andy|title=John Carmack Sheds Some Light On Doom 4|url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/85484-John-Carmack-Sheds-Some-Light-On-Doom-4|publication=The Escapist|publishdate=6 August 2008|accessdate=22 October 2022|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20220320042917/http://www.escapistmagazine.com/John-Carmack-Sheds-Some-Light-On-Doom-4/|archivedat=archive.org}} with a heavy emphasis on strong weapons, fast and agile player movement, and quickly paced encounters with large groups of foes. Graphically and architecturally, its advanced designs are aesthetically closer to ''Doom 3'' in some regards, but with many [[References to the Doom series in Doom 2016|deliberate nods]] to the original series, as is particularly seen in the enemy designs.

A sequel, ''[[Doom Eternal]]'', was announced on {{timeline|2018|June 10, 2018}} and released on {{timeline|2020|March 20, 2020}}.

==Story==
{{spoiler}}
A team of UAC researchers has spent years on [[Mars]] developing technologies for [[allthetropes:Another Dimension|interdimensional exploration]] after the discovery of an infinite source of power known as [[Argent energy]], and its connections to Hell. Led by [[Dr. Samuel Hayden]], former chairman of the UAC and director of the facilities on Mars, they built the [[Argent Tower]], a huge device to extract this energy from Hell, filter and purify it, and make it usable by human technologies, solving all of [[Earth]]'s ongoing energy crises. However, this came at great cost. Dr. Hayden was forced to {{wp|Mind uploading|transfer his brain and consciousness}} into a cyborg body after he developed brain cancer during the tower's construction. Regardless, research continued, with Dr. Hayden leading multiple expeditions into Hell, bringing back captive demons and numerous artifacts for study.

The corrupting influences of Hell could not be held back, and some staff members, particularly [[Dr. Olivia Pierce]], would prove {{wp|Pact with the devil|vulnerable to seduction}} by the dark powers of the demons. Dr. Pierce oversaw the transformation of the UAC into a regimented cult dedicated to the worship of the demons, and bent her sights on using the Argent energy to rip open a permanent portal to Hell.

During UAC expeditions to Hell, Dr. Hayden uncovered evidence in an artifact known as the [[Helix Stone]] of an ancient warrior trapped in Hell known as the [[Doom Slayer]], who was feared and loathed by the demons for destroying vast numbers of them in battles waged across eons of time. He brought this warrior, who had been entombed in a sarcophagus by the demons, back to Mars to serve as a fail-safe in case the demons were to invade the base, with or without Olivia's help. As he feared, this happened when Olivia, after {{wp|Deal with the Devil|making a pact}} with the demons, unleashed a Hell Wave from the [[Lazarus Labs]]' Hell portal. The facility was invaded and most of its staff were killed or possessed.

The player awakens as the Doom Slayer, also known as the Doom Marine, at the beginning of the game with the invasion already in full swing, and must start out by reclaiming the powerful [[Praetor suit]] and striving to find out the cause of the invasion. Meanwhile, Dr. Hayden tries to direct the marine's actions to ensure things are done as he, Hayden, wants them done. Olivia continues to pursue the permanent opening of the Hell portal; the marine must try to stop her at all costs.

The Doom Slayer fights his way through the overrun facility and makes several excursions into Hell. He steals a magical blade called the [[Crucible]], which he then uses to destroy the portal's power source in the former capital of his ancient allies, the [[Night Sentinels]]. He shortly comes across Pierce, who transforms into the monstrous [[Spider Mastermind (Doom 2016)|Spider Mastermind]], and kills her. Upon the Doom Slayer's return to Mars, Hayden confiscates the Crucible, which he plans to use to continue his research. Despite all that has happened and the continued risk of dealing with Hell, Hayden states that Earth is too desperate for energy to give up the use of Argent energy. To prevent the Doom Slayer from interfering, Hayden [[teleport]]s him to an undisclosed location using the [[tethering device]], saying that they will meet again.

===SnapMap===
[[SnapMap]] is the game's built-in editor, which allows assembling levels from pre-fabricated rooms alongside fully customizable placement of enemies, decals, lighting effects, items, and a form of scripting consisting of dynamically connected logic nodes.

==Releases==
===PC===
Aside from the digital-only release on [[Steam]], a physical [[Doom Collector's Edition (2016)|Collector's Edition]] was released which included the [[Demon Multiplayer Pack]] DLC and a [[Collector's Edition revenant statue|revenant statue]]. A standard PC edition including only the game on one disc was also released. All PC editions require an additional download from Steam to install and play.

===Console ports===
Ports to the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 were released simultaneously with the PC version, and have no differences in content or performance when compared with it. Some aspects of the game engine's renderer, such as the shadow cache size, are scaled back to account for the smaller amount of video RAM available on these platforms.

The port to the Nintendo Switch, a custom Nvidia {{wp|Tegra}} system, targets a 30 Hz frame rate at 720p resolution, has lower resolution textures and lower quality {{wp|Ambient occlusion|ambient occlusion}}, pares back the number of light sources in some scenes, uses quarter resolution for some [[id Tech 6#Asynchronous post-process|post-process]] effects, and does not support screen-space reflections or setting a custom field of view.{{cite web|author=DigitalFoundry|title=Doom on Switch: The Complete Technical Analysis!|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqnUHecJ01U|publication=YouTube|publishdate=11 Nov 2017|accessdate=12 Nov 2017}} However, most content for the game is still present, including the multiplayer mode, but excluding the [[SnapMap]] editor.

==Development history==
[[File:Doom-(2016)-Beta-Access-Code.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Insert for Doom beta access.]]
{{main|Development of Doom (2016)}}
Doom, previously titled ''Doom 4'', was confirmed to be in development by id Software as early as [[Timeline#2008|May 7th, 2008]].<ref>[http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/52560 Shacknews: Doom 4 announced] on May 7, 2008</ref> Very little information was given on the development process, and by 2013, ''Doom 4'' was declared to be in "{{wp|development hell}}" after reports of mismanagement. Those who worked on [[Doom 4 1.0|the early version of ''Doom 4'']] compared it to gritty, scripted military shooters such as ''{{wp|Call of Duty}}''.<ref>http://kotaku.com/five-years-and-nothing-to-show-how-doom-4-got-off-trac-468097062</ref> Shortly after ''Doom 4'' was declared to be in development hell, key members of id Software began to resign, including CEO [[Todd Hollenshead]], [[John Carmack]] and many other development staff. Doom seemed as if it would never be released, until the multiplayer beta was announced.

People who pre-ordered copies of ''{{wp|Wolfenstein: The New Order}}'' were promised access to the beta test for Doom. Although the information was vague, it was the first news regarding ''Doom 4'' (now re-branded simply as "DOOM") since Kotaku's article in [[Timeline#2013|2013]]. The game would go on to be shown to a private audience at {{wp|QuakeCon#2014|QuakeCon 2014}}, followed by a public reveal with the first solid information on the game appearing at {{wp|E3 2015}}, where publisher Bethesda held its first ever full-scale presentation. 

The closed beta test began on March 31, 2016, and ran through April 3.{{cite web|author=Bethesda Softworks|url=https://www.bluesnews.com/s/169814/doom-closed-beta-this-month-new-mp-trailer|title=DOOM Closed Beta This Month; New MP Trailer|publication=Blue's News|publishdate=9 March 2016|retrievedate=10 March 2016}} A beta open to all Steam, Xbox Live, and Playstation Network users followed shortly after, beginning on April 15 and lasting until April 18.{{cite web|author=Skrebels, Joe|title=Doom Open Beta and DLC Announced|url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/04/06/doom-open-beta-and-dlc-announced|publication=IGN|publishdate=6 April 2016|accessdate=6 April 2016}} The full game was released on May 13, 2016, to glowing critical reception.{{cite web|title=Doom Metascore|url=http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/doom|publication=Metacritic|accessdate=13 June 2016}}

===Influences===
The atmosphere and design of the game's Hell levels was heavily influenced by the {{wp|dystopian}} {{wp|surrealism}} of Polish painter {{wp|Zdzisław Beksiński}}, most renowned for his later "fantastic period," which featured disturbing images of gloomy environments with detailed scenes of death, decay, landscapes filled with skeletons, deformed figures and deserts.{{cite web|author=Hurley, Leon|title=New Doom art teases story stuff & THE ICON OF SIN|url=http://www.gamesradar.com/new-doom-art-teases-story-stuff-the-icon-of-sin/|publication=gamesradar|publishdate=5 May 2016|accessdate=22 August 2016}}

Creative director [[Hugo Martin]] cited {{wp|Frank Frazetta}}'s dark fantasy painting ''{{wp|Death Dealer (painting)|Death Dealer}}'', and others in its series, as an inspiration for the game's method of storytelling and characterization, with many details left in "shadow" so as to engage the player's imagination and to invite solutions to the plot's unanswered questions.{{cite web|author=Takahashi, Dean|title=How Doom reveals its secrets like a Frank Frazetta painting|url=http://venturebeat.com/2016/07/02/how-doom-tells-players-part-of-the-story-and-leaves-them-guessing/|publication=Venture Beat|publishdate=2 July 2016|accessdate=15 September 2016}}

==Post-release development==
===Single-player demo===
On June 12, 2016, a playable demo was [http://store.steampowered.com/app/479030/ released through Steam], allowing players to "Fight Like Hell through the opening level of the first-person shooter's single-player campaign."

===Unto the Evil===
The first multiplayer DLC pack, "[[Unto the Evil]]," was announced at the 2016 Bethesda {{wp|E3 2016|E3}} conference on June 12, and was slated to introduce three new maps, the [[harvester]] demon, the [[EMG Mark V pistol]], and robotic [[multiplayer armor]].

The pack was released on {{timeline|2016|August 4, 2016}},{{cite web|author=Bethesda Softworks|url=https://www.bluesnews.com/s/173670/doom-unto-the-evil-released|title=DOOM: Unto the Evil Released|publication=Blue's News|publishdate=4 August 2016|retrievedate=6 August 2016}} accompanied by a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgWSz5kvtbI 'Now Available' trailer].

===Hell Followed===
[[Hell Followed]] is the second of the three pre-planned multiplayer downloadable content packs for the game, and was released by Bethesda simultaneously for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One worldwide on {{timeline|2016|October 27, 2016}}, {{cite web|author=Bethesda Softworks|url=https://www.bluesnews.com/s/175928/doom-hell-followed-dlc|title=DOOM - Hell Followed DLC|publication=Blue's News|publishdate=31 October 2016|retrievedate=31 October 2016}} again accompanied by a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6NtvX18UkI 'Now Available' trailer].

===Bloodfall===
[[Bloodfall]] is the third and final pre-planned multiplayer DLC pack, released by Bethesda simultaneously for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One worldwide on {{timeline|2016|December 14, 2016}}.{{cite web|author=Bethesda Softworks|url=https://bethesda.net/en/article/2Vu1XvNIve8eKakEe8oqWC/doom-bloodfall-now-available|title=DOOM – Bloodfall Now Available|publication=Bethesda.net|publishdate=14 December 2016|retrievedate=14 December 2016}}

===Free updates===
Several free updates were made available as well, affecting all major components of the game including introduction of a centered weapon mode and artistic screenshot tool for single-player, [[capture the flag]] and [[capture-and-hold]] modes for multiplayer, and new [[Module (Doom 2016)|modules]], items, [[prop]]s, and workable single-player mode support for SnapMap. A Hell-themed module set was expected to be welcomed by the fan community, and the ability to add [[skybox]] windows was to help open up map layouts.

====Update 1====
The first update arrived on June 30, 2016.{{cite web|author=Bethesda Softworks|url=https://bethesda.net/en/article/6hDGIOyYbm4ik4Aeq4k6im/doom-update-1-now-available|title=DOOM – Update #1 Now Available|publication=Bethesda Softworks|publishdate=30 June 2016|retrievedate=6 August 2016}} It added Photo Mode for taking artistically composed screen shots, centered weapon placement as a gameplay option, and numerous fixes to bugs that were discovered after the game's release.

====Update 2====
The second update arrived on July 29, 2016.{{cite web|author=Bethesda Softworks|url=https://bethesda.net/en/article/6JraK5upQQsGsc2U0UI8cm/doom-free-update-2-now-available|title=DOOM – Free Update #2 Now Available|publication=Bethesda Softworks|publishdate=29 July 2016|retrievedate=6 August 2016}} It added two new multiplayer modes, "Sector", a capture-and-hold mode, and "Exodus", a one-flag variant of [[Capture the Flag]]. SnapMap was expanded with hellish environments, [[Key|skull keys]], additional weapons, a proper single-player-style weapon wheel, [[launch pad]]s, static props with no networking overhead, a "Recently Played" map list, and a "Find Open Match" public {{wp|Matchmaking (video games)|matchmaking}} browser. Other additional improvements and optimizations were included.

====Update 3====
The third update returned conventional [[deathmatch]] to the game and added the new Private Matches feature along with Campaign and SnapMap updates, and was released on September 22, 2016.{{cite web|title=DOOM - Free Update #3 Now Available|url=https://bethesda.net/en/article/33fXE4OQGk0kmygEMe6ceQ/doom-free-update-3-now-available|author=Bethesda Softworks|publishdate=22 September 2016|publication=Bethesda Softworks|accessdate=24 September 2016}} Other additional improvements and optimizations were included.

====Update 4====
Update 4, released on October 19, 2016, added a new single-player campaign mode known as [[Arcade Mode]], a competitive experience where the player attempts to earn medals and make a new high score. [[Classic Doom]] modules were added for SnapMap, allowing maps similar to the original [[Knee-Deep in the Dead]] to be created. Two new multiplayer modes were added: [[Possession]], a survival mode in which a team of marines fights a team of [[prowler]]s, with the prowler team growing whenever a marine dies, until eventually one man is left standing; and [[Bloodrush]], a twist on standard free-for-all deathmatch in which the "Bloodrush meter" controls a player's ability to respawn, requiring it to be managed as it drains faster and faster as the match goes on.{{cite web|title=DOOM – Free Update 4 Adds Arcade Mode and Classic Modules|url=https://bethesda.net/en/article/3fCk2WbLdeKyUoemEGMusu/doom-free-update-4-adds-arcade-mode-and-classic-modules|author=Bethesda Softworks|publishdate=19 October 2016|publication=Bethesda Softworks|accessdate=20 October 2016}} Other additional improvements were included, especially for SnapMap.

====Update 5====
The fifth update was released on December 7, 2016{{cite web|title=DOOM – Free Update 5 Brings Bots, New Mode & Echelon 11|url=https://bethesda.net/en/article/4dXT4XaiJi6AEuk4GS4igC/doom-free-update-5-brings-bots-new-mode-and-echelon-11|author=Bethesda Softworks|publishdate=7 December 2016|publication=Bethesda Softworks|accessdate=9 December 2016}} and brings multiplayer [[Bot (Doom 2016)|bot]]s to the Team Deathmatch and Deathmatch modes. Also included are a new multiplayer mode titled [[Infernal Run]], the maximum [[rank]] is increased to Echelon 11 at which point the player unlocks the [[Praetor suit]], and the update provides a large number of SnapMap additions and improvements.

====Update 6.66====
The sixth update for Doom was released on July 19, 2017. It unlocks the three DLC packs for all owners of the game, includes a complete overhaul to multiplayer progression which replaces the hack module system with a multiplayer rune system and eliminates randomized unlocks in favor of [[challenge]]-based progression, includes improvements to the [[HUD]] and menus, features numerous bug fixes to multiplayer and SnapMap modes, and adds the ability to designate SnapMap levels as single-player only in order to disable the network limit on map size and complexity.{{cite web|author=[[Marty Stratton|Stratton, Marty]]|title=The ‘Ultimate’ DOOM – Update 6.66, All DLC Unlocked, Free Weekends |url=https://bethesda.net/en/article/3lw31bjKOsagegSyIYWIEg/the-ultimate-doom-update-6-66-all-dlc-unlocked-free-weekends|publication=Bethesda.net|publishdate=19 July 2017|accessdate=12 Nov 2017}}{{cite web|author=Leavey, Jason|title=DOOM Update 6.66 FAQ and Patch Notes|url=https://bethesda.net/community/topic/73729/doom-update-6-66-faq-and-patch-notes|publication=Bethesda.net Community Forums|publishdate=18 July 2017|accessdate=12 Nov 2017}} {{deadlink|date=January 2022}}

====4K Update====
A 4K Update patch was released on March 29, 2018, for the PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X consoles which enables {{wp|4K resolution|higher resolution rendering}} on these enhanced versions of the platforms.{{cite web|author=Leavey, Jason|title=Experience DOOM in 4K - Now Available|url=https://bethesda.net/en/article/4csATft5rOKaywwiKymgaO/experience-doom-in-4k|publication=Bethesda.net|publishdate=29 March 2018|accessdate=23 June 2018}}

===Soundtrack release===
{{main|Doom (Original Game Soundtrack)}}
The soundtrack album was released for streaming and digital download on September 28, 2016.

==Trivia==

* It was likely planned at one point for demons to leave behind lasting corpses after being killed, as seen in footage and screenshots shown at the game's {{wp|E3 2015}} reveal. However, most likely due to technical limitations, this was ultimately scrapped, instead opting for both demonic and zombified corpses to burn away upon death; this is most likely another nod to [[Doom 3]]. However, artifacts of this scrapped development remain in the final product as several demon carcasses are seen throughout various levels of the game: 
** The corpse of a [[possessed scientist]] is found partially sliced in half by the [[Chainsaw (Doom 2016)|chainsaw]] in [[Resource Operations]], this is where the player first finds the weapon.
** Several bodies of [[possessed soldier]]s are found in the area of the [[Foundry]] locked by a blue key card.
** A half-eaten carcass of a [[Mancubus (Doom 2016)|mancubus]] is found just before the first arena fight in the [[Kadingir Sanctum]].
** A mancubus corpse is being operated on in [[Lazarus Labs]], along with several other demons being held in various tanks.
** Perhaps as a nod to the Tower of Babel level from the original game, several hanged [[Baron of Hell (Doom 2016)|baron of Hell]] corpses are strewn throughout the [[Necropolis (Doom 2016)|Necropolis]].
