Doom Eternal Has Great Plat forming Mechanics for More User Engagement, According To Doom Game Director

After a triumphant return with 2016’s Doom Eternal Has Great Platforming Mechanics for More User Engagement, According To Doom Game Director, and Id Software’s iconic series is coming back with Doom Eternal. Originally planning for a November 2019 release, the developer delayed the latest entry in the Doom franchise to March 2020.

Our sister site GameSpot released its preview of the first three hours of Doom Eternal Tuesday, and it looks like fans of the last game will get their fill with the sequel. According to creative director Hugo Martin, Doom Eternal’s single-player campaign will clock in at more than 22 hours, which is quite the jump from the approximately 16 hours of Doom 2016.

After months of silence, Id Software released a new trailer for Doom Eternal. The story trailer gives some insight that Doomguy may not be just some human who happened to defeat the armies of hell. Still, whatever the story maybe for the game, there’ll be plenty of demons to maim in gory fashion.

First revealed at Bethesda’s 2018 E3 press conference, the gory, fast-paced, heavy-metal-blaring first-person shooter sequel will put players back in the role of the Doom Slayer, the hero from the original game, who was revived to take on the forces of hell. This time around, demons have made their way to Earth, and it’s up to Doom Slayer to save the world once again.

When does Doom Eternal come out

Id Software announced the Doom Eternal delay, to March 20, 2020, on Oct. 8 via Twitter. The developer originally planned for a Nov. 22 release, first revealed at E3 2019.

“To make sure we’re delivering the best experience — for DOOM Eternal to live up to our standards of speed and polish — we’ve made the decision to extend our launch date by a few months to March 20, 2020,” the developer tweeted.

Along with news of the delay, Id Software said the Switch release for Doom Eternal will come sometime after the game launches on PS4, PC and Xbox One. Invasion Mode, a multiplayer mode that lets players play as a demon in other players’ games, will also come after the game’s release.

As a bit of a consolation for Doom fans, Doom 64 will be released the same day as Doom Eternal. Id Software released Doom, Doom II and Doom 3 earlier this year for consoles.

Bethesda revealed on Oct. 22 another consolation for the delay by giving away Doom 64 for free with Doom Eternal preorders.

What’s new in hell

Members of the Id Software team showed off Doom Eternal’s gameplay for the first time at QuakeCon 2018 in August. For the most part, it looks to be the same as Doom 2016. Players will have to blast their way through waves of demons using a wide range of weapons and leaving a trail of carnage in their wake.

There were, however, some new additions to the game shown in the QuakeCon video. There’ll be a multiplayer mode that lets players fight against player-controlled demons creating asymmetric multiplayer gameplay. That’s when a team of players takes on one powerful opponent. In this case, the demons would be outgunned by Doomguy.

Id also added an old-school element to Doom Eternal by giving players extra lives, according to a VG247 interview with executive producer Marty Stratton. Players will obtain an extra life that’ll be used when a character dies to avoid returning to a previous checkpoint. Stratton says this new addition will help when a player’s game is invaded by experienced opponents controlling the demons.
