Bethesda's E3 show has revealed Doom Eternal - basically a Doom 2, a follow up to 2016's successful reboot. Key thing to note here: hell has reached Earth.
We won't know more before Quakecon in August but the fight has very definitely reached earth, which recalls the never released Call of Doom leaked a while back. That was, as the name suggests, a very COD flavoured take on Doom with a human resistance fighting demons on Earth. While that ultimately never happened it was partially responsible for the series' Glory Kills so it'll be interesting if that cancelled game has further inspired anything else here.
What we do know about the game is that it's promising the "ultimate combination of speed and power with the next leap in push-forward, first-person combat." Which is all pretty much cookie cutter PR speak. There is some story stuff though, specifically: "as the DOOM Slayer, return to take your vengeance against the forces of Hell. [...] fight across dimensions as you slay new and classic demons with powerful new weapons and abilities." Admittedly not much so we'll have to wait until August 10 to see what Quakecon reveals.
When Destiny 2 "weekly active users dropped lower and faster than we'd seen since 2018," Bungie assembled an A-Team to put out some fires: "We needed to do something"
Half-Life devs worried Gabe Newell "promised things that they couldn't possibly deliver" for the iconic FPS, but "they just didn't know" that they'd be able to do it yet
