Doom 3 BFG Edition Zeroes In On Release Date

Bethesda announced that an enhanced version of Doom 3 would be coming this fall, but they didn't provide a release date beyond that vague time frame. That's changed, with news that the Doom 3 BFG Edition is coming this October.

More specifically, the game is releasing Oct. 19 on the PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. As we reported earlier, the BFG adds a host of improvements over the 2005 original. Most noticeably, the graphics have been given a visual overhaul, with support for 3D displays. The game includes both Doom 3 and its Resurrection of Evil add-on, as well as seven new levels dubbed the Lost Mission. Even more critically, the BFG edition includes an armor-mounted flashlight. Finally, no more juggling!

If you're not up to speed on Doom's history, the BFG edition also packs in the original Doom and its sequel.
