Composer For Doom Eternal Might Not Return For Follow-Up Entries

In the middle of March, that specific timeframe became one of the most energetic periods for 2020 so far in the video game market with the release of Animal: Crossing New Horizons and Doom Eternal. With the current, ongoing situation infixed by global governments, these two titles could not have released at a better time for avid players. The two went on to ship three times the amount of their predecessor within the first week.

And that is only recording physical sales, at the time that has yet to be determined for digital sales of both titles. Now as the two have officially settled just one month later, it was discovered that there might be potential changes for approaching new entries for one of these series. In particular, I am referencing the latest release from id Software.

According to Reddit poster MedicalMilk on the r/Doom page, he shares to have direct messaged Doom Eternal Composer Mick Gordon on his involvement on future entries. And looking at the screenshot of the conversation, it does not look too hot for whatever the team has planned next for the rebooted franchise. You can view the messages sent on Instagram in the image below:

When asked about working on a future entry when id Software is ready to tackle the next game, Gordon responds “doubt we’ll work together again.” For fans of the series who have kept their ear close to the ground during the initial 2016 reboot, there happened to be controversy between both Gordon and how the team operated previously as well which might have fueled this most statement.

However, it is truly uncertain where Gordon currently stands on the topic since he has yet to address the current conversation users unearthed online. With the amount of attention that the composer for Doom and countless other Bethesda-published titles potentially pulling out a month after the latest release launched, it might just be to stir the pot between fans. Another thing with the image sourced from Reddit, there is the possibility of this being doctored for the sake of clicks, so take it as you will.

If you are unfamiliar with Doom Eternal still, I recommend reading our full review for the game. Rectify gaming’s David Rodriguez tells the game is “not just more Doom. It’s a tougher, more sophisticated take on the franchise and wisely avoids the number 2.”

Doom Eternal is available now for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, and Stadia.
