Doom Eternal is shaping up to offer quite the multiplayer experience. Developed in-house at id Software, the new Battlemode 2-v-1 multiplayer mode is looking to be an intense and ferocious affair that holds everything you'd expect from a Doom game. Today, id Software released a brand-new gameplay trailer that goes over the new mode's playable characters, goals, and more.
We already saw some details shared about Battlemode back at QuakeCon 2019, however, id Software has released a new video to dig deeper into the new mode. Featuring the same frenetic gameplay that has made the Doom series such a popular franchise over the years, Battlemode features a unique 2-v-1 approach that only id Software could pull off. In the new gamemode, two players take on the role of the series' iconic demons, while one player works to defeat the demons as the Doom Slayer.
According to the new overview, players will be able to take on the role of one of five demons, including the Revenant, Pain Elemental, and the Mancubus. All five of the demons that players can take control of have their own special abilities and mobility options, as well as the ability to drop various hazards throughout the map that will deal damage to the Slayer. It's all about working together to bring the Slayer down through whatever means you have at your disposal.
On the other end of things, the player taking the role of the Slayer will need to work with all of their weapons items to take down the demons and defeat any dangers that they bring into the arena with them. With all of the Slayer's iconic weapons at your disposal, Battlemode appears to offer the same frantic and fast-paced action that makes the singleplayer campaign so enjoyable.
