Doom! Over the world!
It’s not Halloween until you’re knee-deep in the dead, so here comesDoom Eternalwith the start of its two-part story expansion. The Ancient Gods sends the angry fella back into the Maykr’s dimension to resume ripping and tearing, this time with some new enemies in the mix too.

“Your war is not over… slaying the Khan Maykr left an imbalance of power that threatens all of creation,” the blurb blasts. " The legions of Hell have razed the heavens, threatening to expand their control across dimensions. With the aid of an old ally, battle your way back to Urdak and decide the fate of the cosmos. Your mission is now your own."
Update 3 launched alongside the expansion, mostly with bug fixes and network optimisations for Battlemode.The patch notesalso warn of a few bugs that can potentially crash the game or trash a save, so do pay attention if you’re starting the expansion before they’re fixed.
“When we look at how many people have played through the game we have a large percentage – higher than 2016 – that have completed it, so you’re always looking at that and seeing how far players make it through your game,” executive producer Marty Stratton saidin August. “It’s important as we want the DLC to reach as many people as possible. In fact, you don’t even need to own Doom Eternal to buy the DLC and play it.”
OurDoom Eternal reviewslapped the game with a coveted ‘Bestest Bests’ badge and offered the subtle praise, “It’s a lot like the last game, except now the Super Shotgun has a grappling hook.”
