Doom Eternal Coming to Nintendo Switch Soon

As a follow-up sequel to 2016 rebooted title Doom, first-person action shooter game Doom Eternal from developer id Software and publisher Bethesda Softworks made a successful debut on every major platform back in March 2020.

While a campaign DLC is set to arrive soon, many players are still waiting for Eternal to release on Nintendo Switch and id Software executive producer Marty Stratton recently assures that a Switch version is very close to being complete.

Marty Stratton recently showed up at PAX Online x EGX Digital and revealed that development team working on Eternal port for Switch is trying to make this particular version a flawless and pleasant experience for handheld consoles.

Bethesda officially announced for Doom Eternal to be ported on Switch at QuakeCon 2018 event during official gameplay reveal and tasked Texas-based developer studio Panic Button to develop a handheld version for Nintendo Switch.

There are some additional technical challenges to consider in porting of a high-definition game to Nintendo's hybrid console but Stratton promises that Switch version of Eternal is almost near completion and will be talked about very soon.

Panic Button has previously ported its predecessor title Doom and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. Due to unfortunate circumstances of COVID-19 pandemic, all employees are working from home and its taking longer than usual.

Eternal has made significant improvements over past titles and had a record player count on Steam. To complement its triumphant launch, id Software will be releasing a standalone DLC expansion titled The Ancient Gods next month.

Doom Eternal is currently available to play Google Stadia, Windows PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. At this point, waiting for a Nintendo Switch port of Eternal has become so painful for fans now since it came out almost half a year ago.
