Developed by id Software on their id Tech 7 engine, DOOM Eternal is the direct sequel to the award-winning DOOM (2016) and a masterclass in aggressive, push-forward first-person combat. As the DOOM Slayer, you return to find Earth overrun by demonic forces. Armed with an expanded arsenal and devastating new abilities, your mission is to battle across dimensions, uncover the Slayer's origins, and rip and tear through Hell's legions until it is done. The Deluxe Edition bundles the complete base game with the Year One Pass, granting access to both The Ancient Gods campaign expansions, along with the Demonic Slayer skin and Classic Weapon Sound Pack.
A Combat System Built on Aggression
DOOM Eternal's signature "push-forward" combat philosophy rewards constant offensive pressure. Every tool in your kit serves a strategic purpose in a brilliantly interlocking resource loop: Glory Kills on staggered enemies restore health, the Flame Belch sets demons ablaze to drop armor shards, and the chainsaw carves through fodder to replenish ammunition. With a shoulder-mounted Equipment Launcher capable of firing frag grenades and ice bombs, plus the Super Shotgun's Meat Hook grapple that slingshots you toward distant targets, you are always moving, always attacking, and always in control of the battlefield.
An Arsenal Fit for the Slayer
- Upgraded Weapons and Mods
- From the Combat Shotgun and Heavy Cannon to the Plasma Rifle, Rocket Launcher, Ballista, Chaingun, and the legendary BFG 9000, every weapon can be modified with alternate fire modes that transform how you approach each encounter. The retractable wrist-mounted blade opens up a wider variety of brutal Glory Kill animations, while the Unmaykr offers a devastating reward for those who master the Slayer Gates.
- Destructible Demons
- A system unique to DOOM Eternal that lets you progressively tear apart enemy anatomy in real time. Shoot off an Arachnotron's turret to neutralize its ranged threat, blast the cannons from a Revenant's shoulders, or strip armor plating from a Doom Hunter. Every shot leaves visible damage, and targeting specific body parts directly impacts enemy capabilities, giving your weapon choices genuine tactical weight.
- Movement and Traversal
- New mobility options including the double dash, wall climbing, and horizontal swing bars elevate combat arenas into three-dimensional playgrounds. Combined with the double jump and Meat Hook, these mechanics ensure you are never standing still, weaving between projectiles and closing distance on priority targets with fluid precision.
Demons Old and New
The roster expands significantly with the return of fan-favourite classic demons such as the Pain Elemental, Archvile, and Arachnotron alongside formidable newcomers. The Marauder matches your speed and aggression as a shield-wielding adversary that punishes poor timing. The Doom Hunter combines cybernetic enhancements with relentless pursuit across its multi-phase encounters. The Gladiator stands as a towering boss encounter demanding patience and precision. Each enemy has distinct attack patterns and vulnerabilities, ensuring that no two combat encounters play out the same way.
The Ancient Gods Expansions
Included through the Year One Pass, The Ancient Gods Part One and Part Two extend the DOOM Eternal story into new realms and escalate the challenge well beyond the base campaign. Part One sends you beyond the borders of Hell and Heaven alike as the legions of the damned threaten to overwhelm all of creation. Part Two raises the stakes even further, revealing the cosmic consequences of your earlier victories and introducing new enemy types and abilities as you confront the true power behind the invasion. Together, these expansions deliver a substantial continuation of the Slayer's saga for those seeking the most demanding encounters DOOM Eternal has to offer.
BATTLEMODE Multiplayer
Built from the ground up at id Software, BATTLEMODE is an asymmetric 2-versus-1 multiplayer mode where a fully armed Slayer faces off against two player-controlled demons across best-of-five rounds. Demon players coordinate summons and abilities to overwhelm the Slayer, while the Slayer leverages their complete arsenal and superior mobility to survive. It is a tense, strategic take on DOOM's combat that plays very differently from either side.
