Hell Yeah! DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods - Part One Is Out Now On Switch

WHAAAAAAAT?! HELL YES!

This is great. Too bad this dang DLC takes up more storage than the game itself.

Grab your micro SD cards folks.

GEEZ that file size tho.

Playing it now. Runs amazing. Looks amazing. They’ve added new video stuff too like filters.

Very good DLC. Levels are huge, fights are longer. It’s perfect.

@Mynameishello You've made me even more excited. UAC Atlantica is like my favorite level in the game after ARC Complex!

Great to hear. Also, the base game is on sale for $30 in the U.S eShop.

Lmao surprised it took this long for Switch to get this.

I've been sitting near full on my micro sd card for a long time now, think its finally time for me to up to a higher capacity.
Still haven't put much time into this, maybe if I beat Nocturne before MH Stories 2 I'll put some time in.

I can confirm that the TOTAL size of Doom Eternal with the Ancient Gods Part One DLC is 24.1GB.

It's not 24.1GB just for the DLC (despite the wording on the Bethesda FAQ site).

I'm sitting on a nearly full 512GB Micro SD. Waiting for Prime Day to hopefully find a deal on a 1TB card. $159 has been the best price I've seen so far on a Sandisk. $99 would be stellar!

The Switch Doom Eternal physical copy better happen after DLC part two released.

@whitespy12 : That's exactly what I suspected. Thanks for confirming.

My guess is that they're trying to keep the entirety of the game (base + 2 expansions) under 32GB for the inevitable physical release.

@Ghost_of_Hasashi : I am actually REALLY glad for the delay as we sure as hell wouldn't have had a complete physical release otherwise. The ENTIRETY of DOOM Eternal on a single cartridge? Hell yeah!

So how is anybody supposed to enjoy this when downloads are still not working since the last firmware update?

Put the damn thing on a physical cartridge and I'm in.

Let's see...CAD$80 for Eternal + 2 expansions @ 30fps
...or free on GamePass @ 60fps...

Still saving up for that Series X!

The deluxe edition is now available but not as an upgrade for digital owners? Does this mean we miss out on the classic sound pack? What the heck?

I did not like the DLC, felt to exhausting (not difficult).
The Maingame was spot on.

Got it as soon as it was available on the eShop. That first level was BRUTAL! Loving it so far, it's surpassing my expectations.

I have figured out why the projected file size is so big...

Because we can buy the DLC without buying the “base game”, because the base DOOM Eternal software is included with the purchase, but not the main campaign (which requires that one purchases the standard or deluxe editions of the game).

Notice that the base game listing includes DOOM Eternal plus the campaign, while the DLC purchases includes the DOOM Eternal software, but only the DLC campaign (meaning that you can still play the DLC packs without needing to buy the campaign, if, for some weird reason, you’ve played the base game on another console but don’t want to buy it again for the Switch).

The only stupid thing about it is that the campaign and DLC purchases merely unlock the ability to access the campaigns as the actual content of the campaigns is included within the base software and its respective software updates (so, the file size will be identical regardless of how much or little of the game you have purchased).

This is certainly a very unusual way of doing DLC, but there you go.

My Doom Eternal is downloading an 'update'; does anyone know what this is? I can't find an update notes, and I haven't got the Ancient Gods expansion yet as I am still playing the original campaign...
