Slayer 2.0

Get access to the latest destructive technology with the DOOM Slayer’s advanced Praetor Suit, including a shoulder gun with flame thrower and extendable DOOM knife. Destroy every demon on your path with a series of improved guns and mods, including the new Meat Hook expansion for the Super Shotgun and skills such as Double Dash that make you faster and more deadly than ever.

A new Demon

Destroy more demons than ever before, each with their own attacks and skills. Popular classics such as the Pain Elemental, Archvile and Arachnotron are back. In addition, a host of new demons are added, including the DOOM Hunter, Marauder and the Gladiator. Tear apart your favorite demons with DOOM Eternal’s ‘destructible demons’ system and take the demon destruction to new heights.

Demonic Invasion detected

As the Slayer, you can allow real players to invade your campaign as demons for dramatic and unpredictable twists while playing the campaign. Or become a demon, alone or with another player, and invade another player’s campaign to teach the Slayer a hellish lesson.

Enter the BATTLEMODE

BATTLEMODE is the new 2 vs.1 multiplayer experience completely recreated by id Software. A fully armed DOOM Slayer takes on two demons controlled by other players. Take on the challenge in three rounds of intense first-person combat. Soon more information.
