DOOM Eternal 7 (1)

Get ready to rip and tear your way through hordes of enemies from the comfort of a handheld console.

The critically acclaimed first person shooter DOOM Eternal is finally headed to Nintendo Switch. It will be available digitally on the Nintendo eShop on December 8th.

Unique to Switch, this version of DOOM Eternal will feature motion aiming controls using the Switch’s gyroscopic abilities. Players will be able to use the console’s motion controls along with the analogue stick for some super precise aiming.

Players will be able to enjoy the game’s single player campaign or jump into the online BATTLEMODE. Here, players can engage in 2v1 battles; one Slayer fights against two of their friends who have taken on the role of demons. See who can come out on top in a best-of-five round match.

DOOM Eternal‘s Switch port has been handled by Panic Button, the team responsible for bringing other Bethesda titles to the console. Panic Button also ported 2016’s DOOM, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus and Wolfenstein: Youngblood to Switch, so you know it’s been in good hands.

Becca knew that she would be addicted to video games for the rest of her life when she saw the first pixelated zombie shambling across her TV screen while playing Resident Evil 3. She particularly enjoys being scared, laughing until she cries, or just plain crying while experiencing games. When she isn't playing games she loves spoiling her cat Usagi and eating any kind of sushi she can find.
