At first we were like ‘oh no,’ now we’re like ‘oh yes’
It’s still weird thinking about a Bethesda release being a “Microsoft” release. But this is one of the first major ports or game launches since the big publisher acquired the smaller one.
We were worried aboutDoom Eternalon Switch for a second! It never had a firm release date out of the gate, and it chucked its physical release into the sun. But Bethesda has confirmed this morning thatDoom Eternalwill arrive on Switch on December 8.
As a reminder, this pretty goodDoomgame (itself a sequel toDoom2016) came out in March of this year on PC, PS4, Xbox One and Stadia (did you think I’d leave you out, Stadians?), andhas received one DLC micro-campaign so far. It’s due for another, but for now, Bethesda is poised to give us their Switch version.
Want the rundown? Bethesda stresses that it’s still a digital-only release (“at this time?” So you’re saying there’s a chance). The exact launch time is midnight on December 8, ET, and the aforementionedAncient Gods: Part OneDLC will come “at a later date,” so it’s going to be behind the other versions. I’d put money on it coming alongside of the second part.you’re able to read all about the other known issues and glitches here.
It’s still strange to see violent games like this on the innocent Nintendo YouTube channel! It even has that little Mario head logo pop up while Doom Guy is ripping and tearing. Jarring!
