Bethesda has revealed a new gameplay trailer for their follow up to 2016’sDOOMreboot,DOOM Eternal.It’s the first newgameplay footagefans have seen in quite some time, despite the game now confirmed to be launching on August 07, 2025.
TheDOOM Eternalfootage shows some of the brutal action long-time series fans are used to, offering glances at some of the brutal dismemberment that also appeared in the first game three years ago. The heavy metal soundtrack is also back, complimenting that fast-paced action and gunplay the series is known for.
Fans ofDOOM’spush-forward combat should feel right at home in the sequel, as it appears that iD software intends to keep all the things gamers love about the franchise intact while doubling down on the enemy and level design. If the past game is any indicator of the sequel’s quality, then fans should expect a satisfyingly-bloody romp through the hellish version of earth. Plus,DOOM Eternalwill have story DLC,so fans will have even more to look forward to post-launch.
All in all,DOOM Eternallooks like it improves upon its predecessor in just about every way, without betraying the core of what made the series great in the first place. It’s wonderful to see a studio with the pedigree of iD Software knock yet another first-person shooter out of the park, and it’ll be interesting to see what the studio cooks up next. There’s also still plenty of content planned forRage 2,so iD fans should have enough gameplay to keep them pre-occupied for quite some time.
DOOM Eternalis coming to Stadiatoo, so fans should expect to see how well the game runs while being streamed within the next few months. Bethesda did announce their own game streaming technology, dubbed Orion, during their press conference, and they seem intent on making game streaming accessible even for those with poor internet connections. How the new technology shakes out remains to be seen, but it’s becoming clear that the next era of gaming is almost upon us.
DOOM Eternalwill launch on July 26, 2025, for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
