After numerous delays, Doom Eternal is finally heading to Switch next week, with the official release date announced as 8 December.

Originally slated for launch last year, the game was repeatedly pushed back, eventually arriving on other platforms in March earlier this year. However, the Switch version was given a vague ‘soon’ release window and had stayed that way until now.

Happily, Switch fans will be able to rip and tear their way through the hordes in time for Christmas, with the port now arriving at the beginning of December.

Unfortunately for the collectors out there, there won’t be a physical release for the Switch version, with the game only arriving on the eShop.
