Bethesda has announced that it and id Software have decided to delay the game in order to live up to "our standards of speed and polish". The studio acknowledges that this may be disappointing to fans, but believes that Doom Eternal will be worth the extra wait.In addition to an altered release date, Bethesda and id Software have announced three other changes. Invasion mode, in which the player takes on the role of a playable demon and invades another player's gane, will be released as a free update shortly after the new March 20 release date. Doom Eternal will also launch on Nintendo Switch, but not on the same day as the PC, PS4, and Xbox One; Bethesda promises that a date will be announced in the future. Additionally, Doom 64 will be provided as a pre-order bonus for Doom Eternal on all platforms. Doom 64 will also be available to buy separately, and will be released on all platforms on March 20, 2020.The press release provided by Bethesda makes no mention of Google Stadia , and so there is no confirmation currently as to when Doom Eternal will launch on Google's streaming service.For more, check out what we know about Doom Eternal multiplayer , and our hands-on impressions
