US video game publisher, Bethesda and id Software, announced that the first single-player campaign expansion for Doom Eternal is named The Ancient Gods Part One and will be launched on October 20. The announcement appeared during the Geoff Keighley’s Opening Night Live streaming event that was held at Gamescom 2020. The Ancient God’s version will focus on the imbalance of heaven’s power and how the hero, the Doom Slayer, fits into that imbalance and tackles it.
The studio highlighted a video of the gameplay where there were many bosses, including familiar enemies like Cyberdemon, the Marauder, and the Khan Maykr (who died in the last game). The Marauders are portrayed as the most challenging enemies, as the player needs to block them when they launch a counterattack in a split-second timing. This will be an adventure and thrilling for the players to see. The new update is the first of a two-part story expansion for Doom Eternal game. The Ancient Gods, Part One, will be available for free for players who own the $30 Doom Eternal Year One Pass and the Digital Deluxe edition of Doom. This will be sold as a standalone expansion for $20.
