When Doom Eternal was announced at E3 2018, director Hugo Martin stated that it is going to have more badass demons, specifically “twice as many.” I never asked for those, did you? Here’s the demons we know will be in the game, thanks to what the Doom Eternal teaser trailer revealed to us.
Doom Eternal’s trailer revealed some of the demons that are going to be in the game while showing them overtaking some kind of a ruined city – one of the hints of the Hell on Earth scenario. Among them was an updated Baron of Hell, handsome as he always was, grasping a Flame Sword in one hand while the other is was on fire. Judging by his new beautiful look, he seems stronger than he used to be, given that the sword will probably give him the ability to deal some range attacks, apart from the melee abilities he already had. Good luck with that.
Furthermore, do you by any chance remember those very strong demons from Doom 2 which were able to resurrect the dead monsters you just took out? You know, those ones that brought them back from the dead over and over until you finally killed them for good and went on with your life? The Arch-Vile was a pain and it seems like he will be a pain again in Doom Eternal since he is back, ready to bust your nerves one more time. Bethesda even had a statue of the new one at their E3 booth, just to make sure we will never ever buy this game, just by knowing he will be there. Updated, sexy and as irritating as ever, he will be back to cast some flame spells and bring more monsters back from the dead.
While you would think that those two above were enough to make our lives harder, Bethesda thought otherwise. That is why it seems that they have added some kind of a long tentacle creature with teeth. The teaser did not reveal much of this new kind of juicy monster but it seemed to be able to wrap itself around structures. The most useless ability ever, if you ask me.
In addition, we were also able to take a quick pick at the Pain Elemental and the Cacodemon creatures during the teaser. The first ones were not that bad, to be honest. I always loved demons spitting Lost Souls at me while trying to kill them – not. I would prefer them updated to puppies liking cuddles instead, is that too much to ask?
I left my favorite type of creature for the end. The most disgusting version of spiders after the ones that appeared in Doom 3 – actually, those were much worse. Unlike the previous Spider Mastermind, which clearly is the predecessor of the new ones, these ones are armed. If these new spiders also appear out of nowhere like those of Doom 3, I will definitely have nightmares playing Doom Eternal.
Are you still excited to play Doom Eternal when it is released?
