Bethesda Softworks has shared a look at what to expect in the upcoming DOOM Eternal.
About DOOM Eternal
DOOM Eternal, developed by id Software, is the sequel to DOOM, winner of The Game Awards’ Best Action Game from 2016. Experience the ultimate combination of speed and power as you blast your way through different dimensions with the next leap forward in push forward first person combat.
DOOM Eternal uses idTech 7 and is accompanied by a brand new sizzling soundrack by Mick Gordon. You play as the unstoppable DOOM Slayer as you shoot new and famous demons to pieces with powerful weapons in incredible, never before seen worlds.
As the DOOM slayer you return and learn that the earth has been hit by a demonic invasion. Raze Hell and discover the origin of the Slayer and his ongoing mission to destroy everything until nothing is left.
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.
Unholy Trinity
You cannot destroy demons when you are dead and you cannot survive without resources. Make Glory Kills for extra Health, get armor by using the flame thrower and attack demons with your chainsaw to collect ammunition. These tools are essential for survival and to become the ultimate Slayer.
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.
