DOOM Eternal: 12 Minutes of Battlemode 2v1 Multiplayer Gameplay

DOOM Eternal forgoes the traditional DeathMatch multiplayer that DOOM (2016) had (and the original 1993 DOOM invented) and is instead trying something bolder and more original: Battlemode. This 2v1 asymmetrical mode pits two player-controlled Demons (choosing from the Revenant, Archvile, Pain Elemental, Mancubus, and Marauder) against one player-controlled Slayer. The Slayer has to kill both demons before either of them can respawn. It's an intriguing game of cat-and-mouse, layered with strategy. In the video above, DOOM Eternal director Hugo Martin talks through a round with IGN's James Duggan playing as the Slayer and two id Software developers controlling the Demons.
