Bethesda has shown off the first gameplay video for Doom Eternal, the sequel to the 2016's reboot. The follow-up was originally announced during Bethesda's E3 2018 press conference with a cinematic trailer--albeit an exciting one. This trailer was shown once again during the Quakecon keynote, before game director Marty Stratton and creative director Hugo Martin appeared on stage to discuss the sequel.

Once again, Doom Eternal will be about killing monsters with badass guns, and for the sequel the Doom Slayer will be the "strongest most badass hero" id Software has ever created. The Slayer has had a makeover, and has a new weapon called the Ballista, which can spear demons with an explosive bolt. There's going to be plenty of new weapons in Eternal and id Software has created new enemies for players to face. Old favourites have been updated, and some have been reimagined, such as the arachnids. They also showed off a new character called the Marauder, who looks a lot like the Doom Slayer--and there's a story behind that, the developers teased. A new system called "Destructible Demons" was also briefly mentioned, and it'll help players "rip and tear" through enemies.
