First-person shooter Doom will have its multiplayer closed beta at the end of the month. It will be playable from March 31, 10:00pm Eastern Time (April 1, 8:30am IST) to April 3, 11:59 pm Eastern Time (April 4, 10:29am IST).
As the name suggests, the beta is restricted. Those who purchased select physical retail copies of Wolfenstein: The New Order or pre-ordered the game digitally prior to May 26, 2014 will be able to take part.

"If you received and redeemed your Doom Beta code that was included with your copy of the Wolfenstein: The New Order, you are automatically eligible to participate in the Closed Beta. You will receive an email from Bethesda with a key code prior to the start of the Beta," the FAQ section of the official Doom site reads. If the trailer is any indication, you can expect to be brutal, fast, and frantic. Never a bad thing.
