About

The Ancient Gods – Part One (2020) is the first story expansion for Doom Eternal. With Earth saved and the balance of the universe broken, the Doom Slayer pushes into new realms to undo the damage, facing new enemies built to punish the habits the main game taught you.

It’s a standalone campaign for veterans, tougher than the base game from the first fight.
