Will Doom Eternal Come Out This Autumn

This may seem like a bold question for me to ask, but something was announced that got my gears going and it was not specifically to do with Doom Eternal, but the new Doom movie.

Wait they are making a new Doom movie? Is what some of you may be asking, but yes, Universal is taking another stab at the Doom franchise. The as of right now untitled movie is pretty much finished, but Universal has delayed the release until this Autumn. The reason for this is not actually a bad one.

They like the way the movie is going and have decided to up the budget and improve the special effects to make “hell look more awesome” as they put it. Could this though be done as well so that they have a movie that can help promote Doom Eternal?

To be fair Doom Eternal is going to sell just fine on its own, but if the people at Universal got wind that the release date it towards the Autumn that could explain why the new Doom movie got its expected summer release pushed back. If anything this new Doom movie needs Doom Eternal to help sell it!

I say this because the new Doom movie is being handled by a smaller Universal team and is more than likely going to be a straight to DVD release or show up on something like Netflix. Having a huge game that is creating buzz would no doubt be a great way for Universal to get some hype behind their Doom movie.

Who Spilled Ratatouille On My Overwatch???

If you are a fan of Overwatch then you are in for a treat as once again the guys and gals at Blizzard are treating us with a brand new map!

This new map is Paris and you can explore the lovely city of Paris and then destroy it! It is funny how they have a map of what is regarded the most romantic city on Earth in time for Valentine’s Day!

The map is all about capture the point. There is no escorting the payload here. That right away tells you that you are dealing with a smaller and tighter map. I actually really like this as it forces conflict between the sides and there are fewer places to hide. Although I was watching a few people on Twitch stream this and it does look like there are some great places you can sneak, hide and get the drop on people if you are crafty.

Currently, there is no word on when this is going to come to Xbox One or PlayStation 4. It is on the PC Test Servers as I write this so that is why there are so many people streaming it on Twitch and also on YouTube. So go and have a look if you are not a PC gamer so you have an idea of what to expect.

Blizzard is truly awesome when it comes to keep giving content for free! How many characters and maps have been added to Overwatch since it launched a few years back? Could you ever imagine EA or Activision doing this with Call of Duty or Battlefield?
