Nintendo released Metroid Dread, the highly anticipated fifth edition in the 2D Metroid series. To congratulate Nintendo on the release, the official Doom Twitter account shared a special artwork of the Doom Slayer in a pose reminiscent of the cover art of Metroid Dread.
Given the similarities between Samus and Doom Slayer, the image is a fitting tribute to both these long-running franchises.
