Perhaps the most unlikely duo in 2020 was Doomguy and Isabelle. It all started when DOOM Eternal got delayed until 20th March, knocking the release date back to the same day as Nintendo's Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
The internet thought it was a match made in Heaven (and Hell) even if the two game worlds were far apart, and Animal Crossing's game director Aya Kyogoku praised the unity of the two fanbases – mentioning how thrilled she was to see this type of communication.
With all this in consideration, it only seems fitting the characters from these two insanely popular games say goodbye to 2020 and see in the new year together, and so they did on the official DOOM Twitter account. At the time of writing, the tweet below has racked up well over 100,000 likes. In case you're wondering, these figures are Nendoroid.
While some fans were hoping to see the games perhaps make reference to each other when they released, and some others are still calling for Doomguy to be added to the Smash Ultimate roster as a DLC fighter so he can be reunited with Isabelle, it seems like 2020 might be the end of the road for this powerful crossover.

This is still adorable up to now.
... it seems like 2020 might be the end of the road for this powerful crossover.
End of the road? Only if we, the audience, lack fortitude. If we demand it, DOOM CROSSING: ZERO HORIZON will one day appear.
What true gamer could not but empathize with Isabelle's ongoing dilemma, as she strives to create a peaceful village for decapitated demons, while resisting the constant temptation to use violence as a management tactic?
Special appearances by Tom Nook and Resetti, who will come to Ninth Circle Village in order to teach the cast out demons the virtues of capitalism and the acceptance of mortality.
Rip and endear!
All we need is Doomguy in Smash.
I haven't played any of the new DOOM games but this is just wholesome on an entirely different level and I love it.
...I actually would like to see little nods to each other maybe in both franchises. Maybe they can collaborate a little where a super powerful Isabelle sniffs out demons with in you DOOM while in Animal Crossing there'll be a May Day like event but a bit more based on DOOM where you have to use a toy gun to, uh, 'kill' cardboard demons on a specially built battleground and even get decked out in a Doomguy outfit for the occasion. Bonus points if they use the house camera for this and not the overworld camera.
Weeklong break paused
That is hype for a crossover game. Animal Crossing: Hellish Adventures. Doom Leaf. Featuring Hello Kitty and Aggretsuko.
Weeklong break resumed
OMG DOOM DID IT THEY DID now we need him in smash.
Now I love a nice beastiality love story as much as the next guy, but this one seems a little hard to believe.
@KillerBOB : Puppy love is the best kind.
As a fan of both games I would love to see a crossover. Demons invading AC islands and villagers ripping and tearing.
I like that the Doom account has embraced the pairing of Isabelle and Doom Slayer
Haven't played a Doom game but Slayer is a character I think has better chances than most people realize, and it'd be great to have classic Doom remixes and songs taken from 2016 and Eternal
Would love to see Doomguy in Smash! But I guess he's a bit too brutal to be included... A final smash breaking Mario's skull would be too much.
The fact that DOOM's social media is still rolling with this crossover after all this time warms my heart.
@Quarth I mean, could probably make his Final Smash a Cyberdemon suddenly attacking and Doom Slayer just blows it up with the BFG while everyone else gets caught in the cross-fire.
We need Doomguy adding to New Horizons as a whole DlC episode, where you have to rip apart possessed villagers to save isabelle.
@Shambo Just because of that comment I ordered a HUGE burger!
Please keep posting as I am hungry for FLESH!
@ToadBrigade It is, I just miss you all.
@OstianOwl Or it could be the scene from Eternal where he blows a hole in Mars with the BFG 10000
@Quarth if Bayonetta, Persona and Metal Gear Solid that are M-rated found a way to fit in Super Smash Bros, the sky is the limit for Masahiro Sakurai and his team to add character such as Doomguy.
Seeing that Isabelle is already in a support bubble with the Animal Crossing, I question if Doomguy should be in such close social contact.
Even if he’s wearing a mask.
@Quarth that would be the viable next step after what happened to Mario in the Ridley and Sephiroth reveals.
This is pretty wholesome
Won't be suprising in the least bit if this leads into Smash X Doom with a heavily dumbed down doomguy
