Doom Eternal is the sequel to the video game Doom (2016). It is currently being made for the PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch, and it is expected to be released on March 20, 2020.

Similar to the story of Doom 2, the demons from Hell will invade Earth. According to Id Software, they hope to expand the Doom story much more than in the earlier Doom games. Places where the player will go will include Earth, Mars, Phobos (one of Mars's moons), the Knights Sentinel home world of Sentinel Prime, Hell, and even Heaven.

The monsters and weapons have been redesigned so that they look more like the ones in Doom and Doom 2. Each weapon will have new attachments, so they will play differently than they did in Doom (2016). The game will also add new mechanics like extra lives, wall-climbing, air-dashing, swinging from monkey bars, and swinging from grappling hooks. The player will also have a flamethrower so that they can gain armor points when they damage inflamed enemies. The game is designed where certain body parts of the demon enemies can be damaged, so attacking and destroying those body parts can disable certain attacks and make them easier to kill.

The game will have multiplayer like its prequel, but there is a new mechanic called Invasion Mode where players can play as demons and invade other players' campaigns to kill them, though Id Software said that players allowing this feature in their own campaigns would be up to themselves.
