We ourselves have been left pretty impressed with all the footage that they have released and seeing that the game was delayed for more polishing it’ll only be interesting to see how much more DOOM Eternal will have improved.
DOOM Eternal is releasing on March 20 on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Google Stadia.
