Microsoft‘s effect can already be felt on Bethesda.

Yesterday, we talked about how the (Xbox) Game Pass subscription service might eventually include DOOM Eternal that launched on March 20 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC (Steam, Bethesda.net), which will soon get a standalone expansion called The Ancient Gods – Part One (we talked about it before in detail). However, Microsoft and Bethesda didn’t tease us for long, as they announced on the Xbox website that Doom Slayer, the protagonist of the two reboot games, will join the line-up, which Phil Spencer, the head of Xbox, has mentioned to be expanded with „iconic” titles of Bethesda.

„In DOOM Eternal, you step into the armour of the Slayer, an unstoppable and unyielding force with a singular mission—Raze Hell and save humanity. Battle demons in an epic single-player campaign that takes you to Earth, to Mars, through Hell, and across dimensions never seen before. Your arsenal of powerful upgradeable guns, grenades and abilities makes you a force on the battlefield as you blast, stab, and shoot your way through demon hordes. Take what you need to survive – health, armour, and ammo—from your fallen enemies during the heat of battle.

The story doesn’t end when Doom Eternal’s credit roll. Continue seeking your vengeance in DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods – Part One, launching on October 20 on the Xbox Store. The legions of Hell have razed the heavens, threatening to expand across dimensions. Battle your way to the heart of the threat and decide the fate of the cosmos,” Microsoft’s overview of the game reads.

Until then, play the base game: DOOM Eternal shows up on the console version of the (Xbox) Game Pass on October. The PC version will get it later this year. The game will also get a Google Stadia, a PlayStation 5, and an Xbox Series version. The Nintendo Switch port still hasn’t been released.
