Doom Etenral finally has a release date on Switch. The game will release digitally on December 8, Bethesda, id Software, and Panic Button announced today.

Here’s a bit of information about Doom Eternal plus a first look at the Switch version:

Bethesda has confirmed that the Switch version of Doom Eternal is still on track. The physical version has been scrapped, however.

As Switch owners continue to wait for Doom Eternal, GameStop is raising the anxiety level of its customers.

Doom Eternal

Although it launched about half a year ago, Switch fans are still waiting for the release of Doom Eternal. We still don’t have any sort of idea as to when it’s launching on the console, but the good news is that things are coming along.

During a session for PAX Online x EGX Digital, Doom Eternal executive producer Marty Stratton provided a status update. The Switch version is said to be “very close,” and Stratton noted how “we’re trying to be very uncompromising with what it needs to be because there’s a high demand for it.” He added that it’ll be shown “in the not too distant future.”

Stratton’s full words:

Doom 64

Limited Run Games has announced that it has teamed up with Bethesda to produce physical versions for Doom 64 on Switch.

Aside from a standard copy, fans will be able to purchase a Classic Edition. The latter version includes goodies like a commemorative N64 cart and double-sided poster.

Pre-orders open on September 25 at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET. You’ll be able to reserve a copy on Limited Run Games’ website.
