Doom Eternal’s upcoming DLC, The Ancient Gods: Part One, will be available to purchase as a standalone game.
This means that fans interested in picking up the new adventure but who don’t have the base game, or maybe they have it but haven’t finished the main campaign yet, will be able to get in on the action when it launches on October 20, 2020.
“When we look at how many people have played through the game, we have a large percentage, higher than in 2016, that have completed it, so you’re always looking at that and seeing how far players manage to outperform your game,” Doom Eternal Executive Producer Marty Stratton explained to PCGamesN.
“It’s important, as we want the DLC to reach as many people as possible. In fact, you don’t even need to own Doom Eternal to buy the DLC and play.”
The Ancient Gods: Part One is the first of at least two campaign DLC coming to Doom Eternal, which was announced at QuakeCon 2020. A few weeks ago.
The Ancient Gods picks up after the end of the main story at a time when, due to Slayer’s actions, the armies of heaven and hell have been thrown off balance. Demons have entered en masse to take over the weakened angelic realm, so the Assassin has been called in to clean up the mess. This is only the first part of the DLC, so it seems like the cleanup will take a while.
Doom Eternal will be a free update on PS5 and Xbox Series X.
