2016’s Doom was a wild ride through Hell that recaptured everything fans know and love about the seminal shooter series. So expectations are sky high for this Fall’s sequel, Doom Eternal. Thankfully, id Software and Bethesda have delivered with two new trailers at this year’s E3 Expo.
The first trailer focuses on the game’s story, and after spending five games in Hell (Doom 64 absolutely counts), it looks like we’re finally going to find out what Heaven is like in the Doom universe. You’ll get a glimpse at the Double Dash ability, as well as the Shoulder-Mounted Flamethrower, the new Meat Hook attachment for the Super Shotgun, and the retractable Doom Blade.
Meanwhile, the second trailer introduces Battlemode, a 2v1 multiplayer mode where one player controls the Doom Slayer and two others step into the cloven hooves of a pair of demons.
Slayer Threat Level at Maximum
Gain access to the latest demon-killing tech with the Doom Slayer’s advanced Praetor Suit, including a shoulder-mounted flamethrower, and the retractable wrist-mounted Doom Blade. Upgraded guns and mods, such as the Super Shotgun’s new distance-closing Meat Hook attachment, and abilities like the Double Dash make you faster, stronger, and more versatile than ever.Unholy Trinity
You can’t kill demons when you’re dead, and you can’t stay alive without resources. Take what you need from your enemies: Glory kill for extra health, incinerate for armor, and chainsaw demons to stock up on ammo. These tools are the key to your survival and becoming the ultimate demon-slayer.A New Class of (Destructible) Demon
Obliterate more demons than ever before, each with unique 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, Marauder, and the Gladiator. Rip apart your favorite demons to the core with Doom Eternal’s “destructible demons” system and take your power fantasy to new levels.Demonic Invasion Detected
As the Slayer, allow other players to invade your campaign as demons for a dramatic and unpredictable twist anytime you’re playing the campaign. Or be a demon and invade other players’ campaigns either by yourself or with someone else to give the Slayer a true taste of Hell.Enter Battlemode
Battlemode is the new 2 versus 1 multiplayer experience built from the ground up at id Software. A fully-armed Doom Slayer faces off against two player-controlled demons, duking it out over three rounds of intense first-person combat. More details coming soon!
Doom Eternal will be available for the PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One on November 22. Players who pre-order the game will receive the Rip and Tear Pack, which includes a Doot Revenant Skin, a Throwback Shotgun Weapon Skin, and a Bonus Master Level for the Campaign.
Doom Eternal will also be available in a special Deluxe Edition that contains the Year One Pass (which includes access to the story-based DLC 1 and DLC 2 expansions when they’re released), a Demonic Slayer Skin, and a Classic Weapons Sound Pack. Finally, the Collector’s Edition will come packed with all the Deluxe Edition content, a Wearable Doom Slayer Helmet, “The Gift of Argent Power” Lithograph, a Lore Book by id Software, a Digital Soundtrack, and a copy of the game in a Steelbook Case.
You can find Doom Eternal’s new trailers after the break.
