Second ‘DOOM Eternal’ Update Adds New Map, More Empowered Demons
Bethesda has released the second major update to DOOM Eternal, which adds more mayhem to the game’s 2v1 Battlemode. Not only do players get a new map in the form of Torment, but you’ll now see an increase in ‘Empowered Demons’, which were introduced in the first update last month.
As for Torment, here’s what id Software had to say about it: “The UAC fled this outpost after the Slayer prevented Hell’s invasion of Earth. The Titans, once used as research specimens, remain eternal prisoners of this unholy excavation.”
On top of those additions, fixes to things such as latency in Battlemode have been addressed, along with some quality-of-life improvements to the UI and customization menus. And for you screenshot junkies, there are also some new ‘Render Modes’ to play in. You can now play the game in black and white, as well as options for gritty, cinematic and even “Doom Classic”.
You can check out the full changelog here. DOOM Eternal is out now on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with a Nintendo Switch port coming in the future.

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.
