It’s hard to believe that the worldwide release ofDoom Eternalis a mere five days away. Both Bethesda and Id Software have teased this game since E3 2018 and now that it’s almost here, fans can hardly wait any longer. However, whileDoom Eternalis right around the corner, the game director and developers are already thinking about what comes next.
Doom Eternalis a game that truly needs no introduction. This sequel to the 2016 smash hitDoomhas been in development for quite a while and fans have gotten more and more excited as time goes on. The developers have also insinuated on multiple occasions thatDoom Eternalwill have some intense system specifications, making it one of the most ambitious games of 2020. So much so that fans are actually questioning which platform will possessthe best version of the game.

With all of this being said, this new, highly anticipated title is not even out yet and both Bethesda and Id Software are already discussing the future of the franchise. In a recent interview with Hugo Martin, the game director ofDoom Eternal, he discussed how both studios are continuing to expand the series and how new ideas continue to be brought to the table. This almost certainly means that this newDoomseries will continue pastDoom Eternal. Not to mention everything the developers have done toinnovate beyond what was presented inDoom(2016).
In addition, Martin also discussed potential DLC forDoom Eternal. He obviously did not go in depth in terms of what that DLC could possibly look like, however, it has been confirmed that there will be single player DLC released at a later date. This would seem to coincide with the theory thatthe storage size ofDoom Eternalmight imply that the length of the campaign was cut.
For many fans, this news should be rather joyous. Seeing as it took Id Software a full twelve years to produce a newDoomgame, it’s certainly re-assuring that the franchise reboot will continue pastDoom Eternal. Though, more than that, it’s especially nice to see that both Bethesda and Id Software have continued to dedicate so much attention towardsthe technical development and innovation of theDoomseries.
Conversely, it does seem rather irksome to have the lead director tease a potential newDoominstallment several days before the newest game in the series releases. Fans of the series have much to look forward to in terms ofDoom Eternaland perhaps instead should focus on what they know instead of what they don’t know. In any case, from what Bethesda and Id Software have already shown ofDoom Eternal, this game looks to be an unforgettable experience.
Doom Eternalis set to release on March 20th, 2020 for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
