DOOM Eternal

After a period of what the company described as harassment of their audio engineer, id Software posted a lengthy account of what went wrong while working with Mick Gordon on Doom Eternal.

SuperData's latest report brought some expected news, like the increase in game spending due to Coronavirus but also some impressive milestones, like Doom Eternal selling three times more digital copies than Doom from 2016 in the opening month.

Developer id Software and publisher Bethesda have officially announced that Doom Eternal broke the franchise record for the opening week sales. The game managed to double the launch revenue of the 2016's Doom game.

Just as Bethesda and id Software unleashed Doom Eternal on the world, Google Stadia received its first discount since launch, which is sure to get 'em a few subscribers more. Mind you, Doom may be Eternal but the discount won't.

It looks like Bethesda have accidentally released a DRM-free version of Doom Eternal on Bethesda Launcher. The installation folder apparently comes with two .exe files - standard DRM version and one without the Denuvo protection.

If your plan was to pick up Doom Eternal and Animal Crossing in one Gamestop swoop, we'll have to disappoint you - Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued fresh guidelines on social distancing, which distanced their release by moving Doom one day earlier.

DOOM Eternal revels in chaos, indulging aggressive forward momentum and empowering you at every turn. The no frills, "does what it says on the tin" approach hearkens back to a simpler era, but with a smoothness and polish that helps deliver the goods.

Doom Eternal's lack of the iconic deathmatch mode has been discussed at length by fans, but Bethesda's Pete Hines now revealed that id Software did the same and decided against implementing the iconic multiplayer deathmatch mode.

Doom Eternal is officially releasing this week and the game's developers id Software already have plans and some ideas for next Doom game as well as some post-launch DLC for Doom Eternal.

Even though Doom Eternal has more than a week until the official launch, Bethesda and id Software jumped the gun and delivered an explosive video that tries to sum up the brutality coming to PC, PS4, Xbox One and Stadia on 20 March.
