Bethesda's adrenaline-pumping franchise is finally making a return to consoles.
Doom Eternal drops in less than a month now.
The Doom Slayer returns to fight the demons of Hell on 20 March 2020 after a delay to development that pushed back four months.
The rewards for our patience were put on show in the final trailer of the game that flashes all the gore, carnage, and brutality that we have come to expect from the franchise.
So we know what we'll get, and when we'll get it. But what about how we get it?

Gameplay
Bethesda and id Software have created an upgraded Doom Slayer, but that doesn’t mean it will be easy to rip and tear your way through the hordes of Hell. The enemies have got upgrades too, while new foes await.
FAMILIAR FEEL: There is something about this guy...
To survive you will have to use every tool at your disposal, and boy are there a lot.
Key to gameplay will be two new movement mechanics, a monkey bar swing and dash.
When you see a yellow bar you will be able to grab it and swing, allowing you to change direction quickly and gain some momentum.
