DOOM Eternal, in addition to bringing us more shots and violence than ever, as you can discover if you read our impressions, it will also incorporate a different multiplayer than usual. After the 2016 reboot experiment, the creators of the title want to bet on a different path to the online experience. Why this time DOOM Eternal multiplayer is going to be called Battlemode. Therefore, they have also launched a new video to explain how it works and what it consists of.
Although the focus of this sequel is going to be a campaign that, of course, promises that it will be much bigger in each and every possible way, in id Software they have also wanted to build an online facet that is different and adapts more to what the DOOM saga proposes. Battlemode is not a multiplayer to use, is a modality in which 3 players compete with each other for teams. On the one hand there is the demon faction, and on the other hand there is the Doom Slayer alone, doing his best to slaughter his enemies with his entire arsenal at 100%.
A «multiplayer 2 vs 1 which gives players the chance to experience the fun and aggressive fun of the individual campaign to play with friends », explain in the video that we leave on these lines. Players will have the opportunity to choose between 5 different demons to handle and a total of 6 maps available at the beginning, they say they promise to expand as time goes by after the launch, and in which micropayments will not come into play As mandatory item.
In the video we leave on these lines demons are confirmed playable (Revenant, Pain Elemental, Mancubus and two others to be revealed), the possibilities of the "human" player and the improvement and progression system that will be available. DOOM Eternal's Battlemode promises to offer a formula that is much more consistent with this game's premise, especially after its reboot, and will be available with the main game once it arrives in stores on March 20.
DOOM Eternal, another one confirmed for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X?
Given the date of its premiere, and how it promises to squeeze until the last chip of the current platforms, DOOM Eternal is beginning to put eyes to the new generation. One of those responsible, Marty Stratton, let him glimpse recently by saying that the launch of the new DOOM on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X would be logical.
With this total declaration of intentions, it seems more than clear that, in effect, those who make the leap to the new generation at the end of the year will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in this world of demons, angels and shots with the best possible experience. With the new generation hardware, the id Software team can make killing demons even more pleasant. Although we will have to wait to see if they finally decide to move token in that direction or prefer to keep the versions of PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC and Stadia.
