DOOM Eternal’s DLC will be a Standalone Title!

During the recent Gamescom, one of the biggest announcements that has all the players riled up and exhilarated is the upcoming expansion pack for Doom Eternal, The Ancient Gods.

The reason for the excitement and anticipation is simple. It’s DOOM we’re talking about here! I mean, getting to play as one of the most iconic characters in all of the gaming world once more is enough of a reason to play this expansion!

Once more, we get to have demons struck with fear by us, pumping rounds of the shotgun in their faces and then slicing them up like vegetables by the chainsaw, all while heart-racing metallic music plays in the background!

Honestly, DOOM is a game so good that playing it makes you laugh maniacally like the Joker while you butcher everything around you.

Not to mention, it provides the extra perk of sounding like a complete psychopath!

What will the expansion be like?

According to Marty Stratton, the executive producer behind the game, the expansion will be, well, expansive.

It will feature new and different enemies, self-contained levels, and a brand-new story that takes off right after the base game’s end.

But, then again, is it right to call DOOM Eternal the base game for the expansion?

I say this because of the announcement that The Ancient Gods will not just be a simple add-on for DOOM Eternal.

Instead, it will be available as a standalone purchase as well!

“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 it.”

In all honesty, this seems like a great move on id software’s part, as this will attract a whole new audience and give them the ability to be a part of Doom’s ever-expanding community!

It will also allow people to experience the thrilling gory-ride of DOOM without having to pay the full price of Doom Eternal. A win-win situation, in my opinion!

In any case, one thing that I can say for sure is that it’s a great time to be a fan of DOOM!
