Panic Button Games, the company behind Nintendo Switch ports of Doom and Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus, is currently working on a new “major” port. Considering Bethesda’s recent announcement of Doom Eternal video game, it is not far-fetched to assume that Doom Eternal will be that port.
Doom Eternal is expected to be released for PS4, PC and Xbox One, and we might also be able to get a VR experience too. Since Doom was released for Switch before, it is very possible to see a Doom Eternal Nintendo Switch version as well.
Panic Button Games has successfully ported several games to different platforms in the past, with Bethesda’s other video game, Wolfenstein 2, being their most recent one. During E3 2018, we learned almost nothing about Bethesda’s Doom Eternal, although we can predict its release for the same platforms the previous video games of the franchise have been released on before. This includes the Doom Switch version, of course, making it more likely to be considered for a Nintendo Switch version.
With that being said, Panic Button Games Director of Development, Adam Creighton, recently mentioned the company working on a certain “major” port. Its announcement is scheduled some time next month and our guesses are all over the place. Since Panic Button has already been working with Bethesda for Switch porting, we can expect a Doom Eternal Switch release as well.
On the other hand, horror games are a bit in short supply on Switch compared to other platforms, making a Doom Eternal Switch version even more likely. Judging by the success Doom had after its release to Nintendo Switch on November 10, it is highly possible that the “major” port is a reference to Doom Eternal.
Furthermore, Doom Eternal was recently teased for the first time. We will get more information at QuakeCon in August. A connection between this and Panic Button’s recent announcement might mean that Doom Eternal will be available for PS4, PC, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch after its release. We will definitely know more on this matter after QuakeCon.
