It’s live now
Remember PlayStation Underground? Or more recently, Club Nintendo (RIP)? Fan clubs aren’t a new thing in the sphere of gaming by a long shot, but Bethesda is trying their hand at it like it’s 1993 with theDoom-oriented “Slayers Club.” The concept is simple, according to Bethesda: “Earn points, rank up, and win exclusiveDoomprizes.”
The promotion is live now (with your Bethesda account) and it’s actually pretty straightforward. You just muck around on the site or completeDoom(2016) challenges, earn “Slayer Points,” and spend them on stuff like skins for the upcomingDoom Eternal. There’s also a bunch of giveaways and random drawings involved.
GivenDoom‘s revival just three short years ago it’s a wonder this didn’t come out sooner. Id Software has a lot of fans, both aging and new, so they’re one of the few studios that could pull off something like this. I signed up and poked around and it seems harmless enough, as it’s mostly being used to get people interested in playingDoomagain.
