Publisher Bethesda Softworks and the developers from id Software have announced that critically acclaimed shooter Doom Eternal will be launching digitally on the Nintendo Switch platform on December 8. Experience the ultimate combination of speed and power: armed with a shoulder-mounted flamethrower, wrist-mounted blade, upgraded guns, new abilities and more, you’re the greatest demon slayer in existence.
Destroy every demon that stands in your way with a massive arsenal of weapons, gear and abilities. Improve your aim with a control option that allows you to aim using gyro controls. The option can be used in conjunction with the control stick for the perfect blend of immersion and accuracy. DOOM Eternal lets Nintendo Switch owners step into the boots of the legendary DOOM Slayer and conquer Hell’s armies in an epic battle to save humanity from extinction. The only thing they fear… is you.
