DOOM Eternal Update 1 Will Add Empowered Demons

id Software has a new update in the works for DOOM Eternal. It'll not only fix bugs but add new content such as Empowered Demons and adjust BATTLEMODE.

Empowered Demons are demons that killed other players in the DOOM Eternal campaign. These demons will then be transported to other player's worlds where if defeated will net you ammo, health, and experience.

Update 1

Currently, we are hard at work on preparing Update 1 for all platforms, adding a host of optimizations, new event content, bug fixes and more. Hot on the heels of this awesome update, here's a taste of some features to look forward to:

Empowered Demons

Spice up your campaign runs with Empowered Demons! When a player is killed in the single player campaign, the demon that felled them is beefed up and transported to another player’s game to fight again! Will you fall to this fearsome challenger or avenge your fellow Slayer? Take out an Empowered Demon and you’ll not only be rewarded with tons of health and ammo, but also bonus XP to progress in-game events!

BATTLEMODE Enhancements

We’re adding a suite of features designed to improve the overall experience in BATTLEMODE. Some of these additions include implementing Denuvo Anticheat features, changes to the tutorial walkthrough, poor network connection indicators, Echelon Leveling for players at the maximum level and a Death Report screen to offer players more combat insight mid-match.

Single Player Quality-of-Life Improvements

It’s not just BATTLEMODE that’s getting some enhancements! We’ve heard your feedback on the single player campaign and Update 1 addresses a few balance concerns and annoyances players have brought to our attention. Some of these changes include expanded demon tutorials, Dashing vertically in water and adjusting toxic damage while swimming.

Add a friend via Bethesda.net

BATTLEMODE is best with buddies, so we’re adding new features to build up a friends list via Bethesda.net. Using Account IDs, you can round up new pals in a flash to join you in the arena!

DOOM Eternal is now available for PC, Xbox One, PS4, and Stadia.
