Doom Eternal launch trailer is razing some serious hell

With just over a week until launch, the trailer is a promise of what's to come

Are you feeling down on your luck? Devoid of energy and drive? Do you need a pick-me-up? Take this Doom Eternal launch trailer and inject it straight into your veins, and you'll be tearing out the eyes of demons before you can even say "steel-barreled sword of vengeance." 

The trailer jumps into a montage of fire, monsters, blood, and gore, AKA the four elements that make up a Doom title. We see new environments we'll need to deftly navigate, new weapons that are ready to be cocked in lieu of using words, and a slew of enemies that are just waiting to be mowed down with impunity (including a massive, horned demon that promises to be quite the challenge). 

"The Slayer's time is now." It is, indeed - well, it's eight days, when Doom Eternal drops on March 20. The sequel to 2016's Doom will be available for Nintendo Switch at a later date - you can scare your fellow commuters by playing it without headphones in the near future, we promise. If you want to add a bit of absurdity to your hell-razing, Twitch Prime members can get the Doomicorn Slayer skin, which is exactly what it sounds like. 

Doom Eternal is bigger, smarter, and bloodier than ever before.
