​

Bethesda announced a new DOOM game at this year's E3, and though details were minimal in the one minute teaser, more information was promised at QuakeCon 2018, which is taking place today. The new game, DOOM Eternal, which is a direct sequel to 2016's DOOM, received some screenshots, and new gameplay footage at the event, alongside a quietly announced version for the Nintendo Switch. There's no concrete release date at this time, but DOOM Eternal will be launching on the PlayStation 4, PC, Xbox One, and now, Nintendo Switch.

Slayer 2.0

Unleash the overwhelming power of the DOOM Slayer. With updated armor and an arsenal of new and improved equipment, including a shoulder-mounted cannon with flamethrower, extendable blade, and a new dash ability, you’re faster and deadlier than ever. Destroy every demon in your path with an upgraded array of guns and mods, including the Super Shotgun’s new Meat Hook attachment to pull yourself point blank with the faces of hell.

Rip More, Tear More

Obliterate more demons than ever before, each with their own attacks and abilities. Fan-favorite classics such as the Pain Elemental, Archvile, and Arachnotron make their return, while a horde of totally-new demons join the roster including the DOOM Hunter and corrupted Marauders. DOOM Eternal’s “destructible demons” system takes your power fantasy to new levels by ensuring that every trigger pull has never felt better.

All-new Invasion

As the Slayer, allow real players to invade your campaign as demons for a dramatic and unpredictable twist anytime you’re playing the campaign. Or join the ranks of the damned yourself as you become a demon and invade a friend or other player’s campaign. Invade others either by yourself or with another player, as part of a hunting party, to give the Slayer a true taste of Hell.

We’re Not on Mars Anymore

Rip and tear across epic, never-before-seen worlds. Witness the tumbling skyscrapers of Hell on Earth; battle through an invasion of the mammoth BFG 10,000 on Phobos; and discover the ancient secrets of the DOOM universe. With idTech7, every environment is brought to life in unprecedented detail.

Man.. As a 3ds person.. I have to say I'm jealous of you switch ppl...

then... get a switch?

 

[mike a]

Maybe one day down the road... There's tons of nds and 3ds games I still have to play

 

[Xabring]

Looks like Doomguy is reaching megaman zero levels of agility with his new dash and hook mechanics. I like it.

 

[Dr.Hacknik]

I hate to say it, but~ HELL YEAH!

 

[KingVamp]

So funny to see "Doomguy for Smash" from other sites.

 

[The Catboy]

As a switch owner who also owns Doom on the Switch, "Feels good, man."

 

[Axido]

The Nintendo Switch is going to be totally DOOMed, apparently.

 

[AkitoUF]

Oh nice! I was really hoping to play this on Switch, the miracle is happening again!

 

[Kioku]

This looks brutal. Buying it twice.

 

[KingVamp]

The Nintendo Switch is going to be totally DOOMed, apparently.

Yes. In fact, Doom eternally.

 

[m_babble]

Just look at that freaking sword.

 

[Song of storms]

I'm happy that they're treating the Switch like a real console!

 

[Deleted User]

I skipped Doom thinking that while playable on the Switch, it's a game best suited for more powerful platforms. Seems like I'm in a minority here.

 

[nWo]

Great. Bethesda has been givin good games.

 

[Greymane]

Time for another metal playlist it seems.

 

[the_randomizer]

Thirty smudged frames. Every second.

Then get it on PC.

well doom guy is probably the only character i don't ever see in smash, doom is all about carnage and how many pieces you can blow up the demons, and smash being rated T just makes it impossible for that which would take out doom guy identity.

Like Bayonetta and Snake?

snake is not a carnage character have you ever played metal gear solid games? his point is to be sneaky and not shred their oponents to pieces... bayoneta is just stylized so much to a point you dont see intestines and such on every attack you just see some random blood gushes here and there nothing compared to doom.

srs no idea why you think metal gear solid games are carnage games...

You can choose to play gung-ho as much as you can and want.

Not my point tho. Wasn't talking about "carnage"". Just like these M-rated characters, Doomguy can be made smash friendly and still be faithful to the character. Not that I think he is coming.
