DOOM Eternal was announced for the Nintendo Switch just recently and it caught some Nintendo Switch fans off guard, not expecting an announcement anytime soon from Bethesda.
Some had presumed that the title might not arrive on the system, but thankfully, that is not the case. If t will however release at the same time as the other platforms is still a question though.
