DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods Part 2 to be "the epic conclusion to the DOOM Slayer’s saga" (full trailer reveal on March 17th)

I've been operating under the assumption that this will come at the same time as the PS5/XSX enhancements. Here's hoping for news on 3/17
They obviously have to free up the rest of Id to go all hands on deck on the Quake reboot, right? /s
But honestly, I am a little surprised. It seems like the last two Doom games have sold pretty well and gotten a lot of acclaim, I would've thought they'd do one more.
I'm not sure how big of a team it was, but my un-educated assumption was that Id had a smaller second team that helped development on Rage 2. I wonder if they're doing concept/pre-production on the next game (Quake?), and when the rest of the studio is done with the DLC, they'll move onto that?

You know how you get more people to watch your trailer? You tease the trailer. With a teaser trailer. Like has been done for literal decades across several forms of media.
I mean, i'm pretty sure by combining Part I and Part II you are going to get a full sequel in both lenght, story and new stuff.
12+ hours of gameplay is pretty much a sequel.
Oh man, now I want an id-developed Halo game where you play as a Brute.
not gonna watch but i am so hyped for this
edit: as much as i love these Doom games if this means we're getting a new ip from them that would be so exciting. or a new Quake. either one

It's too bad, they called the season pass the "Year 1 pass" and I always took that to mean that there would at least be second year of DLC :/ I wonder if COVID messed their plans up. Seems like it got in the way of their Master level ambitions as well.
Regardless, id is killing it right now so at the end of the day I trust them with whatever they wanna work on

The gotcha here is that id works like gmail and ignores periods
Thanks a lot for what you just did
Yep. That'd be good to do. Take a break from Doom, make two games for Quake reboot and then Doom 3 returns.
Or new IP. I think that would be cool to do after Quake.
I'd be ok with Doom going away for a few years and then have it come back as a launch title for the next Xbox.
If TAG: Part 2 is as substantial as Part 1 then in totality that's effectively a full game right there.
Agree with others about wanting them to do something with Halo.

I know what I hope is next:
If they reboot it i hope they use this exact logo and splash. The rusty Q on a dark background is slick and iconic.
From what we know more Id people actually worked on Wolfenstein The New Colossus than Rage 2, even if they marketed it the other way around.
But yeah, Doom is like the best thing Bethesda did in the last few years.
They lost some goodwill with Fallout 76 and even Fallout 4 in a way and at the same time games like Prey, Dishonored and Evil Within have a following but seemingly flopped.
Doom seemed like the only franchise Bethesda had were the critical and commerical response was very positive.
Hopefully this just means that they want the people that made the new Dooms into what they are to put there hands on other franchises to do a similar thing.
Who knows how plans changed under Microsoft now.
Really looking forward to this and I'm glad it seems like they'll be moving on to something else. Such a talented team.
DOOMGUY all caps no spaces or bust
and the excuse its a different character doesnt fly when daisy is there
Wait, was this always known as the "epic conclusion"? Was this the plan from the start? I don't remember anyone mentioning this before.
Huge bummer for me, if so. Doom Eternal is special for me, man.

And it'll end up being the easiest part of whatever encounter it's a part of.
If this really is the end to the new Doom saga then thats amazing. But i feel like it could have been handled a little better in terms of marketing. The two new expansions probably should have been pushed as one stand alone story like The Old Blood or Young Blood.
Seeing what this studio will do next will be extremely interesting.
