As well as the expected PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions, Doom Eternal is coming to Nintendo Switch.

Bethesda casually let slip the news of the Nintendo version of next year's upcoming shooter in a tweet on the official Doom account.

The company's 2016 Doom reboot did land on the Switch eventually, but the port only came to Nintendo players the year after those other formats.

They didn't say it for certain, but by mentioning all those platforms in the same breath the suggestion is that we're looking at a simultaneous launch, or at least something closer than that wait for the original.

And that happy news, combined with that suggestion in a recent Super Smash Bros Ultimate trailer that Nintendo icon Luigi is dead (he's not) led fans to ask one question.

"Switch? Ok, now you guys HAVE to let us go and bring back Luigi from hell," quipped @Christijan_Gonz.

"We'll try," deadpanned the good people at Doom.

The original Doom was released for the PC all the way back in 1993, spawning a number of ports and sequels before its 2016 reboot.

There was Doom II: Hell on Earth, Final Doom* (*not actually the final Doom) and Doom 3 plus its Resurrection of Evil expansion pack.

Doom had appeared on Nintendo systems before its 2017 Switch port, with the original popping up on the SNES in 1995 and Doom 64 hitting the N64 in 1997.
