There still isn’t a timeframe for the release of Doom Eternal on Nintendo Switch, but it will most likely be out before the end of the year. Stratton also said that while the Switch version will take a little while longer, it won’t be too large of a delay. Each of Panic Button’s ports is a technical achievement, bringing incredibly demanding games to constrained hardware, and Doom Eternal will likely be the studio’s greatest challenge yet.īecause porting the game to the Nintendo Switch will take extra time and resources, Panic Button is being provided with the time they need to get it right according to id Software’s Marty Stratton, hence the delay. Panic Button has ported several major games to the Nintendo Switch in the past, including Wolfenstein II, Wolfenstein: Youngblood, and even Doom 2016. Instead, id Software has given a different studio, Switch porting expert Panic Button, control of the port. The Nintendo Switch port of the game is not being handled in house.

When Does Doom Eternal Come Out on Nintendo Switch?ĭoom Eternal on Nintendo Switch will launch sometime in the near future, although there isn’t a concrete release date at the time of writing. In an interview with Gamereactor (via Nintendo Everything), Doom Eternal executive producer Marty Stratton offered an update on the game’s Switch port.

The Switch version of Doom Eternal was originally planned to launch day and date alongside the other versions, but that plan fell through once id Software realized that a bit of extra work would need to be done to get the game running on Nintendo’s console. Doom Eternal, the sequel to the acclaimed Doom 2016, is out now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Google Stadia, but the game is also coming to Nintendo Switch sometime in the future.
