Following on from the unveiling of DOOM Eternal by Bethesda at this year’s E3 2018 games conference, developers iD Software and Bethesda have this week announced that gameplay footage will be available during this year’s Quakecon 2018 event taking place next month.
DOOM Eternal is the direct sequel to the award-winning and best-selling DOOM reboot launched back in 2016. Providing fans with the ultimate combination of speed and power with the next leap in “push-forward, first-person combat,” explains Bethesda. Check out the trailer below to learn more about what you can expect from the new DOOM Eternal.
Gameplay and Features
“As the DOOM Slayer, return to take your vengeance against the forces of Hell. Set to an all-new pulse-pounding soundtrack composed by Mick Gordon, fight across dimensions as you slay new and classic demons with powerful new weapons and abilities. Witness the worldwide unveiling of DOOM Eternal gameplay at QuakeCon 2018 in Dallas, Texas on August 10th! The reveal will be live for attendees and livestreamed for everyone.”
DOOM Eternal promises to build on the fast-paced, brutal combat that made the 2016 reboot a hit. Players can expect a host of new features, including a more extensive arsenal of weapons, new abilities, and a variety of new demons to battle. The game will also introduce new environments, taking players to different dimensions and offering a more expansive and immersive experience.
New Weapons and Abilities
One of the most exciting aspects of DOOM Eternal is the introduction of new weapons and abilities. The developers have hinted at a more versatile combat system, allowing players to customize their playstyle. New weapons such as the “Crucible Blade” and the “Ballista” are expected to add depth to the gameplay. Additionally, the DOOM Slayer will have new abilities like the “Meat Hook,” a grappling hook attached to the Super Shotgun, which allows for greater mobility and dynamic combat scenarios.
The game will also feature a new “Destructible Demons” system, where enemies will show visible damage as they take hits, adding a layer of realism and satisfaction to the combat. This system will make each encounter feel more visceral and intense, as players can see the impact of their attacks in real-time.
Multiplayer and Community Engagement
In addition to the single-player campaign, DOOM Eternal will offer a robust multiplayer experience. While details are still scarce, the developers have promised that the multiplayer modes will be more integrated with the single-player experience, offering a seamless transition between the two. This could mean new cooperative modes or competitive gameplay that ties into the main storyline.
Bethesda and iD Software are also focusing on community engagement, with plans to support the game post-launch with regular updates and new content. This approach aims to keep the player base engaged and ensure that DOOM Eternal remains a staple in the gaming community for years to come.
Unfortunately, no information on pricing or worldwide availability has been released as yet for DOOM Eternal, but as soon as information comes to light, we will keep you updated as always.
