Published Tue, 08 Oct 2019 09:40:28 -0500

Bethesda Softworks announced a change to DOOM Eternal this morning that might rile some fans up as the game is getting pushed back to 2020. The company sent out a brief press release this morning letting press and players know the game will now be released on March 20th, 2020. And while the acknowledged some fans will be disappointed with the move, the goal of it is to present "the best game possible" rather than shipping out an incomplete product. In retrospect, it's just four months, but we're sure that won't mean much to some of the more hardcore fans. The company also released details of some other changes made regarding the franchise.

In addition to shifting the DOOM Eternal launch date, we've made a couple other changes we wanted you to know about:

Invasion Mode, which will allow you to enter another player's game as a playable demon, will release as a free update shortly after launch.

DOOM Eternal for Nintendo Switch will release after the other platforms. We will announce that date in the future.

DOOM 64 will be available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC in addition to Nintendo Switch. We are adding DOOM 64 as a pre-order bonus for DOOM Eternal on all platforms so you'll be able to download and play this classic game, for free, just for pre-ordering DOOM Eternal. DOOM 64 will be released on March 20, 2020 on all platforms.
