What you need to know

Doom Eternalis a first-person shooter that continues the story of the reboot. It looks absolutely spectacular on Xbox One X and should provide plenty of single-player and multiplayer enjoyment. In addition to Xbox One, Doom Eternal is available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Google Stadia.

Today, Doom Eternal got its first update that brings with it some major changes. Some of them are listed below. The Empowered Demons sound like a cool challenge in the battlefield.

I’m mostly excited about the single-player improvements because the ability to dash in water and reduced toxic damage will make a lot of levels less painful to traverse.
