Doom Eternal features and what we know so far

Doom Eternal is said to be a relentlessly violent game with begins with the playable character known as the “Doom Slayer”, who lands on planet Earth to find out that it has been overrun by demons from hell.

The game will also come with an ambitious 1v2 multiplayer, battlemode, and will offer players with five playable demons: the Revenant, Pain Elemental, Mancubus, Arch-vile, and Marauder. In addition, there will be a total of six maps at the time of launch, although developers will be adding more maps and demons for free later on. The game features ludicrously excessive gore and its frantic gameplay makes it far more of an extreme Doom game to date.
