Bethesda has just announced that Doom Eternal will now release on March 20th, 2020. According to the publisher, this extra time will give id Software enough time to further polish the game. In addition, Doom 64 will come out on the PC on the very same day, and will be a pre-order bonus for Doom Eternal.

Do note that Doom 64 will also be available for purchase separately. In other words, it won’t be an exclusive pre-order offer. Still, those who pre-order Doom Eternal will get free access to Doom 64 on its launch day.
Lastly, the publisher will stick to its Battle Mode multiplayer mode. Even though the game is delayed for almost four months, id Software will not be adding a deathmatch or team deathmatch mode.
Bethesda was originally planning to release Doom Eternal on November 22nd.

pls dont F this up
You’re asking Bethesda to not f*** something up. No offense really, but………. there isn’t a prayer hell, that they aren’t going to f*** this up, and f*** it up royally.
id Software is not Bethesda. They are only owned by the same company.
dude theres 1-ups in the game… its already messed up. enjoy waiting four more months to find out because they had to finish the esports wannabe multiplayer mode
Comes out the same month as FF7 Remake? Ouch…
FFVII remake doesn’t look promising at all with its changed mechanics and revisionist censorship. It’s also only available on one platform, so plenty of people that only have a PC or (god forbid) an Xbone will jump on DOOM.
I played it at Pax West. It’s very promising…
Not only does it not have anything to do with Final Fantasy VII gameplay wise, in itself an extremely overrated game, but its cut in several parts and it’s PS4 exclusive.
Both of these pieces of mediocrity, NuDoom Eternal and Final Fantasy VII: The Reboot, won’t compete with each other outside your headcanon.
final fantasy 7 and 8 combat are trash and doom 2016 was awesome you are a nostalgiafagot.
Doom 2016 is a sh**ty Painkiller knockoff
no the gameplay changes are great the fact it only takes place in the first city and its not a complete remake is the problem.
Disappointing, as this was my most anticipated game of the year, but I’m already stacked with games to play so waiting won’t hurt. DOOM 64 is a pretty sweet preorder bonus too. I’m not a fan of preorder bonuses, but I’d rather have them offer a game you never expected to get as a bonus than cut out in game content to wall it behind a preorder paywall.
So disappointed yet better than releasing a half baked game, when last time ubisoft delayed a game for more polishing?
it’s not like ID comes out with a new game every year…
Don’t confuse ID Software as a Dev team with what comes from Bugthesda…
more like you are a fool you think Bugthesda has anything to do with the delay…
More like you are just a self deluded troll..
lol you are a moron if you think I support Bugthesdasoft… But they have nothing to do with the delay… ID software is not happy with something Dumbo…
Ever since Carmack left idSoftware has had barely had any executive power.
carmack is the reason quake 3 had no sp and rage 2 happened, so shut up. Not to mention doom 3 stencil shadows and flashlight bs.
dont forget no people of color or women. so thats bonus points right?
wtf are you talking about moron have you even played rage 2?
lol
i am gonna block you if you waste my time again.
go ahead
done
What? Carmack had NOTHING to do with Rage 2.
That doesn’t disprove anything I stated.
They still did whatever they felt like.
“The feedback of Ugly HUD was ignored ”
They said it was made like that so you can instantly see how much ammo and health/armor you have. You can change the hud including the color. They didnt ignore it.
” Some bs powerfantasy ”
Oh you mean like brutal doom? Eternal is hard, everyone who played it said so.
“and the BS MP mode ”
well this game has no mp mode.
cant disagree with the rest.
” Blizzard. R* is more for $$$ Conslow rather than SJW crap but I bet GTA VI fill that gap.”
blizzard is filled with sjws, half their characters are gay and dont think rockstar doesnt have any sjws in it, some of the choices they made in gta online and rdr hint that they do.
Might as well be the same company at this point.
Look at Rage 2, almost a good game before Bethesda meddling.
bethesda meddling? Rage 2 was made in sweden by avalanche. Id software made the shooting mechanics. Same with fallout 4, id software made the shooting mechanics.
You fail to understand that Bethesda Softworks and Bethesda Game Studios are two completely different things despite being closely tied together.
I beat rage 2 last week. It was a pretty fun great game. not sure what all the crying was about
I wouldn’t call small incremental upgrades that feel more like grinding that actually earning something , the same 5 objective types and a short as all hell main campaign a great game.
The only things the game has going for it is the combat that’s broken as all hell since the shotgun kills everything including the bigger enemies and the world art design outside the awful and disgusting looking characters.
It’s pure mediocrity at best
Took me 12 hours to beat and i only paid $20 for it. I had a great time. No complaints here
I paid nothing for it and still felt ripped off
they said you have the option to put it the old way if you want.
yes yes, all the sh*t design changes that you were completely wrong about. Those ones ?
so in conclusion, you’re probably going to be wrong about Doom Eternal ? Cool.
Pisses me off but hey if it’s better in the end well it’s alright.
Could it possible that this delay is for cramming the game with Microtransactions?
sad it was coming out on my birthday, thats ok ill get sniper ghost warrior contacts. Also who in his right mind would buy doom 64 instead of playing brutal doom 64?
A little tight around March with Watch Dogs, DOOM & Cyberpunk.
lol watchdogs and doom? thats some bad games for sheep my dude.
You go ahead and suk CDProjekt c*ck.
Need more time to put lootboxes in
Just give me a single player like DOOM 2016. And for f*k sake don’t make DOOM a gay game.
this one has 1-ups and even more platforming
I think it was delayed to avoid RDR 2 PC. In March 2020 the only big game coming is Final Fantasy 7 Remake for the PS4. February 2020 was The Last of Us 2 and April 2020 was Cyberpunk 2077 and maybe Borderlands 3 for Steam. March 2020 was the only logical choice left. I think Watch Dogs: Legion will now be delayed as well.
Trust me you don’t want to be releasing anywhere near a Rock$tar game. If you do its just asking for trouble.
Its no GTA that’s for sure but will still suck up all the hype in November, December & January.
Fallen Order looks like absolute dogsh*t.
Black and brown, muddy visuals, virtue signalling, too many cutscenes, ripping off outdated Souls combat, no dismemberement, set in the sh**ty Disney movies, published by EA.
Just stop buying EA games and start paying them a yearly 200$ for doing nothing, you’ll get the feeling of being ripped off without all the time wasted on godawful games.
It has nothing to do with RDR2. That’s just absurd.
what the f*k, preorder cancelled.
What, did this make your coochie bleed? Preordering gives you Doom 64 for free. It would be stupid to cancel just because of a few months of delay.
See some comments claiming the “id” is somehow immune to influence from Bethesda. Um, no, they are not.
If SquareEnix can “SquareEnix” Deus Ex: MD, then Bethesda can surely “Bethesda” Doom Eternal.
Don’t get your hopes up folks. That’s just honest advice.
Did you fall on your head or something?
I rather take delayed games over rushed ones. Its less agonizing to play a delayed polished game than a rushed broken game. Call of duty all the way till Feb, Last of us in feb, doom eternal in march and cyberpunk in april…2020 will going to be a busy year people.
In the voice of Elzar: “Bam!” Polish the game, yeah right. You can’t polish the turd as they say as this is what a good game circa QuakeCon 2018 was turned into by introducing the godawful acid HUD, multiplayer-like rotating weapon pickups and ammo shortage.
