We don't imagine it's easy to be making games from home offices during the pandemic, but id Software's certainly making a good go of it. In a Twitter post on Tuesday, 16th December, the DOOM Eternal creators spoke of their 2021 plans, including The Ancient Gods - Part Two, the second part of the DLC which is not yet out on Switch.
However, the same tweet also promises "Switch campaign expansions" as well as "other general additions and improvements", so there's still stuff for us Nintendo kids. Given that they're also working on next-gen support, the invasion mode, and additions to the asymmetric multiplayer BATTLEMODE, it's hard to know exactly when the DLC will arrive on Switch. That's a lot of stuff for one team to handle!
Still, that might give you enough time to complete the campaign on Switch, which we gave 8/10 just a couple of weeks ago. Go to hell already!

Time to go back to hell I guess.
I’ll get the inevitable physical version once it drops
As always, no physical, no buy, even if its a triple A game like Doom.
Awesome! I´d also want a physical version of the game, but that doesn´t seem to happen in a while.
Gotta say, Doom Eternal was one Hell of a port job. I already had it on PC, but u got it for Switch so I can have it portable and it really shines.
Easily the best shooter on switch. Loving it so much. Not a fan of the play forming but all in all it’s amazing
At this rate my physical of doom 64 will arrive before eternal gets one if at all.
Still have to download but I’m really looking forward to it
@Uranux Yeah that mindset just doesn't work for non-AAA games or games less than $30.
NOT BUYING "A Short Hike"! No physical release even though it's $8! I hate these evil business tactics!
@Qwertyninty A lot of people didn't like the platforming, understandably. I actually found it enjoyable because it reminded me of Metroid Prime.
Will it include a physical release?
@Giygas_95 Sure, but that's not DOOM
@HotGoomba___Rebrand So charge more for physical. I gladly pay it. Limited run can testify to this.
@StevenG Which is why I said understandably. I just enjoyed it personally for the reason I mentioned.
@Giygas_95
I like the Plattforming also.
It is a good Way to pace the Game better.
Battle (stress), tranquil search Phase (stress out)) and Plattforming (start getting active) - repeat.
@StevenG
But ID-Shooters evolve that Way
From Shooting and Searching to Jumping.
Look at Quake
@Azuris Quake is totally different and way to fast for today
@StevenG Well, the classic Doom games had platforming elements too. There was no jumping, yeah, but there were still plenty of moments where you had to generate enough speed to cross a gap or make a leap of faith. Even one of the Doom II maps revolved around a tightrope gimmick.
@Giygas_95 yeah I’m not a fan of the 3D Metroid games.
@HotGoomba___Rebrand I'll take note
Anyone that's expecting a physical copy it isn't happening, the game is 28gb so you'd only end up with a 8gb cartridge with a mandatory 20gb download.
@John_Koshiro Heh. The infamous "The Chasm" aka the speedrunners nightmare.
@HotGoomba___Rebrand well said. Playing Doom Eternal on a switch is akin to being in hell anyways.
@Friendly "inevitable"
I also have beach front property in Nebraska to sell you.
@SpaceKaren Come on, it's not that bad! It's impressive that it can even run on the damn thing!
@SpaceKaren According to the reviews it plays great on Switch.
And I’m fine without any property in America ty.
@Uranux @friendly
I only buy physical games.
Game - comes on 8GB cart
Required download - 30GB
When backwards and hostile Nintendo shuts down servers, Switch physical games can't be played again anyways as you won't be able to redownload 90% of the game 😂😂😂
@liveswired @liveswired what can I say, I like the plastic box.
@liveswired switch carts can contain eveb 30 gb.
Doom Eternal GOTY Edition coming soon 😎
Finished the singleplayer campaign. Found all objects - great game. In my opinion better than Doom 2016 which I also liked a lot
