Doom Eternal looks to build on the surprising success Doom (2016) was. And this new trailer is showing not only its trademark fast-paced arena shooter combat, but some lore. Yeah, the new Dooms have lore.
Earth being turned to hell which includes having a large sigil stamped on it. Check. A close up to the face of Doomguy (proper name Doom Slayer)? Check. A grandiose speech by a demon questioning the motifs of Doomguy before a cut to a quick montage of demon-slaying? Check. A hellish, metal-as-hell soundtrack in the background. Of course.
Doom Eternal was originally slated for release last year, but was delayed. So most likely this FPS won’t join the many recent 2020 releases that got their release date bumped.
Doom Eternal will be out on March 20th for the PS4, PC (Steam), Xbox One and Stadia, with a Nintendo Switch release later this year.
