If he's probably one of the best solo FPS out there in the last 10 years, DOOM was missing out on the multiplayer checkup three years ago. Id Software, however, seems to have learned from these lessons, and will they promise! - a more rewarding online experience with DOOM Eternal.
Nervous and cathartic, DOOM Eternal will be as much in his solo campaign as in multiplayer. And for good reason: it will only come with a single mode of play, called Battle Mode.
Massacre demons, even in multi
In an interview with Video Games Chronicle, Marty Stratton, Executive Producer on DOOM Eternal, recalled that it would have no traditional multiplayer mode.
" With DOOM 2016, we learned that id Software should be a leader and not a follower of game design. With the single-player campaign, I think we were leaders, but with the multiplayer, we followed. Fans and critics have pointed it out.
Which act. With DOOM Eternal, which will also celebrate 25 years of the mother's license of the modern FPS, id Software is ready to take the reins and lead the pace. " This time, we really wanted this (the multiplayer) to feel like Doom. We took the DNA of the "Doom Dance" - the game loop of a Doom Slayer against an army of demons - and transposed it into a competitive and social experience.
A natural extension of the single-player campaign
The " Battle Mode " that we are talking about, will see two players embody demons while a third will camp their fiercest antagonist: the Doom Slayer.
Revealed at E3 last, the "Battle Mode" was thought of as a real extension of the DOOM solo experience. " For the players who played at DOOM (2016) for his campaign, the multiplayer seemed to be just a bad thing. In comparison, Eternal is completely what they want. "
" We've analyzed our game data," continues Marty Stratton, " and we've seen how much people continue to play in the DOOM campaign. They play it again and again because they like sensations. So with DOOM Eternal's Battle Mode, we want to give players the ability to keep playing in a more dynamic context. "
DOOM Eternal will be available November 22 on PC, PS4, Xbox One, Google Stadia and later on Nintendo Switch.
