Bethesda confirms Doom Eternal Switch release for December
Switch port was developed by the same studio behind previous Switch versions
Doom Eternal will release digitally for Nintendo Switch on December 8, Bethesda has announced.
The Switch port was developed in partnership with Panic Button, the studio behind the Nintendo Switch ports of Doom (2016), Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, and Wolfenstein: Youngblood.
According to Bethesda, there are currently no plans for a physical version on Switch. The eShop download will be around 19GB in size, it said.
Both single-player and Battlemode are included in the Switch version, along with a motion aiming control option which utilises gyro controls. This can also be used in combination with the control stick, according to Bethesda.
A trailer for the Nintendo Switch version of Doom Eternal was published on Monday and can be viewed via the embed above.
Eternal was released for Xbox One, PS4 and PC in March this year. Bethesda claimed Id Software’s shooter doubled the launch revenue of the previous series entry, 2016’s Doom, although it didn’t offer specific figures.
VGC’s Doom Eternal review said “Id delivers another relentlessly entertaining single-player campaign that’s one hell of a stress buster.”
