A legendary game series is coming back to life once more with 'DOOM Eternal'

A new entry in the legendary video game series "DOOM" is in production.
The game is named "DOOM Eternal" — it's a direct sequel to the 2016 refresh of the "DOOM" franchise.
Like the original "DOOM 2," the game is set at least partially on Earth.

For over 25 years, the "DOOM" series has been giving players a chance to rip through every single demon Hell has to offer.

"DOOM" is back once more, and now those demons are all over Earth in "DOOM Eternal" — the sequel to 2016's excellent refresh of the franchise.

A brief teaser shows a destroyed city, rife with the distinct demons of "DOOM," before the rage-filled supersoldier from the last game appears. He loads a shotgun, cocks it, and takes aim.

And that's all we've got thus far — but if the last game and the series' history have anything to tell us, "DOOM Eternal" could be a new take on the original "DOOM 2: Hell on Earth," which launched in 1994. The title tells you a lot right off the bat given what's depicted in the trailer. That said, given how 2016's "DOOM" offered a fresh take on the original game, "DOOM Eternal" is likely to take the same route.

There's no release date, nor are there announced platforms for "DOOM Eternal" just yet.
