New ‘DOOM Eternal’ Update Introduces Empowered Demons And More
While we wait for DOOM Eternal‘s upcoming first DLC, Bethesda has given fans a treat with the recent update to the first-person shooter. New single-player content has been added, along with several tweaks to single- and multiplayer.
First off are the empowered demons. Now, when a demon kills you, it’s powered up and transported to someone else’s game. If that player is able to avenge you, not only do they get a shower of health and ammo, but they receive bonus XP for in-game events. If you toggle the option on via the menus, you’ll also get to fight the powered-up demons yourself.
A new prestige system has been added to your Doom level. Once you hit Doom level 250, you’ll earn an Echelon insignia, and reset your level back to one. There are also new quality of life and balance changes coming, including single-player campaign changes and balance tweaks for Battlemode. You can check out the changes in more detail via the official site.
DOOM Eternal is out now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, with a Nintendo Switch port coming soon.
Update 1 for DOOM Eternal is now available. Empowered Demons, campaign & BATTLEMODE quality-of-life improvements, fixes, BATTLEMODE balance changes and more await. https://t.co/EkNyDwOLKU pic.twitter.com/SUR8bTpHm8

Horror Action-Adventure Title ‘EONA’ Appearing at Gamescom 2026; New Gameplay Trailer Released [Watch]
With gamescom 2026 right around the corner, developer/publisher SUPER AC has revealed that their upcoming horror adventure game EONA will be making an appearance at the show, which takes place from August 26-30. In addition, the team has revealed a new gameplay trailer, as well as announcing that the game will launch “just a few weeks” after gamescom.
Those attending gamescom will be able to play the final version of EONA at the SUPER AC booth, located in Hall 10.1, Booth A043. If you’re not able to attend, you can always check out the demo for the game on Steam.
EONA centres around the eponymous girl, who after a failed spell, has her soul split into two, with one half residing in a mysterious puppet. Eona must enter the castle of the evil fairy Mélusine and recover an artifact that is the only hope of saving her mother. But the path through the castle comes at a cost. To achieve her goal, Eona must uncover the castle’s secrets… and ultimately confront Mélusine herself.
Eona wields the Puppeteer’s Cross, a stolen artifact that allows her to manipulate the souls of the castle’s servants. By altering their behavior, redirecting their patrol routes, and disrupting the castle’s order, she can turn its own inhabitants against it. She can also swap between her human body and her puppet form, with each form granting unique abilities that are essential for delving deeper into the castle, reaching inaccessible areas, and uncovering its hidden secrets.
Blending stealth, exploration, puzzle-solving and soul manipulation, you’ll use Eona’s supernatural abilities to overcome obstacles—but never lose sight of your own body, which is completely vulnerable when using her puppet form.
In addition to Steam, EONA will also be launching on the Epic Games Store.
