DOOM Eternal update brings new map and lots of quality of life fixes

If any of you are diving back into DOOM Eternal, then you may want to check out the latest update. The game’s second major patch has now dropped, making changes to Empowered Demons, introducing a new map for Battlemode and also adding quality of life improvements and fixes.

In a note from the dev team, we are told that “Update 2 delivers a number of important additions, fixes and improvements”. The star of the show though is the brand new Battlemode map, DOOM Eternal’s multiplayer PvP mode pitting the slayer against player-controlled demons.

The new Battlemode arena is called ‘Torment’ and is an old UAC outpost that has long been abandoned. Of course, there are also new seasonal rewards too, including Castle Grayscale skins and other retro-inspired skins for the slayer and various demons.

Other improvements include lower latency in multi-player, more frequent empowered demons in campaign mode, XP booster menu improvements, better lighting while in photo mode, more freedom when adjusting keybindings and a number of gameplay bug fixes. You can read the full patch notes, HERE.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
