DOOM Eternal goes online: id Software talks about boosters, cosmetics and game support

The id Software team launched the DOOM Eternal developer diaries, and in the first issue, gamers were told

about post-release support for the action film.

What is known

According to shooter executive producer MartyStratton, DOOM Eternal was created as an "online experience." So the developers will try to lure gamers into the game even after completing the story campaign, adding new content to the project. However, the developers note that the Internet is not required to complete the single-player campaign.

Make the time spent on the game worthwhile,the developers will try through cosmetics. By participating in story missions, BATTLEMODE or “Invasion”, gamers will receive skins for weapons, monsters, the Doom Slayer himself, pedestals, and so on. Decorations will drop in the form of collectible figurines, which are divided into three categories: Deluxe Edition, Special Edition and Master Collection. The higher the rarity, the more interesting the design will be.

Bethesda also decided to add a booster system.After playing with your friends or “random” from the Internet, you can appoint one player as your “booster” and receive a percentage of his experience for missions, participation in online battles, and so on. The developers note that the “booster” itself does not lose experience, this is a bonus.

The accumulated experience with achievements is tied to your Bethesda.net account and the developers encourage you to link your Steam or other store account to the service.

Let us remind you that Doom Eternal is released on March 20 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and Google Stadia. Bethesda will later release a version for Nintendo Switch, but there is no release date yet.
