Since the March release of id Software’s Doom Eternal, the game continued to receive high praise for the team’s proceeding to carry the merit of its 2016 predecessor while introducing new elements that expand on the intuitive and rewarding experience for the title. However, the game did not fully release as of reporting since the sequel was told to ship for Nintendo Switch as well.
Being developed from porting studio Panic Button, it is presumed the project is in good hands as the first entry of the rebooted series was also handled by the same team. Although the first game did arrive to the Nintendo eShop with some rough edges, the developer did soften the rougher patches and did even more with improved performance and even added gyro controls for the first-person shooter as well.
Recently, a new patch of information has emerged regarding the Switch version for Doom Eternal that will surely excite awaiting fans of the March-released title. Speaking with GameReactor.es, id Software Executive Producer Marty Stratton shared that the aforementioned port is “pretty soon” for its respected reveal.
We’ll be talking about the release date pretty soon. We haven’t announced that yet – I can’t do that now. It’s really made great progress. Panic Button, the studio we work with on that, as I’ve said before they’re masters of the platform. … we released Doom Eternal on all the same platforms we released Doom 2016, and I thought that was a real feather in the cap of our tech team, and I think this will be the same for Panic Button and our engine team as well because it kind of starts with their core that gets passed along and the optimization that’s done.
Stratton continues by sharing that the despite the issues that the first version faced, those same obstacles will not be found in this coming version for Doom Eternal. Even more, he states that the port will be alike the refinished version of its predecessor when it arrives later on.
“Doom 2016 on the Switch felt a little bit like an experiment – that type of game, the mature nature of it, and the first-person shooter, how’s it going to play? It was fantastic on the platform, so I think we’ll take another step with Doom Eternal coming out just because it’s kind of established itself as something that really does work on the Switch, and it’s such a big, fantastic game.”
