‘DOOM Eternal’ Finally Comes to The Nintendo Switch Next Week!
After months of waiting, and an unfortunate decision to release the game as a digital download, Bethesda and id Software have announced that DOOM Eternal will be headed to the Nintendo Switch on December 8th via the Nintendo eShop. Panic Button are once again handling the Switch version, which given their track record with DOOM, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, and Wolfenstein: Youngblood, fans should be in for a treat.
New to the Switch version of DOOM Eternal is Motion Aiming, which utilizes the built-in gyroscope of the Joy-Con, and can be used in conjunction with traditional aiming using the controller’s analog stick for “the perfect blend of immersion and accuracy.” Also included is BATTLEMODE, the two-versus-one online multiplayer mode that has a fully-armed DOOM Slayer facing off against two player-controlled demons, fighting it out in a best-of-five round match.
Unfortunately, the Switch version doesn’t look to include DOOM Eternal‘s expansion, “The Ancient Gods, Part 1”. But, there’s always hope that the standalone expansion will come to the Switch at some point.
DOOM Eternal is also available on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC via Steam and Bethesda.net, and Stadia. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions are also planned for a future release.

Co-Op Psychological Horror Title ‘CORDURA’ Plays with Your Sanity as You Race Against Time [Trailer]
Garage51 is putting their own spin on co-op multiplayer horror gaming with their psychological horror game CORDURA. During Future Games Show Summer Showcase, the developer released a new gameplay trailer that shows off the paranoia you and your team will experience as you work your way through a procedural mansion that preys on your teamwork.
“With CORDURA, we wanted to move away from scripted jumpscares and focus on the paranoia of not knowing who to trust,” explains Garage51. “In these scenarios, silence keeps you hidden, but if you don’t talk to each other, you won’t make it out.”
The story for CORDURA sees you and your team venturing into Victorian buildings to harvest the Rose of the Night, which is the source of the Ambrosia, a potent neurostimulant coveted by the aristocracy for their decadent gatherings. The problem is, these same buildings will eventually seal you and your team inside. Not only that, but the night begins to mimic your companions, using their bodies and voices to deceive you from within.
Every extraction becomes a tense race against the clock, as the mansion shifts and evolves throughout the night, growing darker and more disturbing as the bells toll. Procedural layouts, permadeath and unpredictable encounters turn each playthrough into a claustrophobic descent into paranoia, fear, and fractured sanity.
The Night hears you and calls you by name. Proximity voice chat becomes a double-edged sword: the darkness can mimic the voice and appearance of your allies to lure you into the abyss. As the night darkens, your sanity shatters. The only way to restore it is to physically reunite with a teammate. But a lingering doubt remains: has your ally truly arrived in time, or is the Night wearing their face to finish you off?
CORDURA is currently in development for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam.
