On October 1, Xbox Game Pass subscribers will get to rip and tear all over again when DOOM Eternal releases to the subscription service. Those on Xbox Game Pass for PC will get to rip and tear later on in 2020.
That is the extent of the news really. The rest is just from Xbox.com talking about what DOOM Eternal is all about. Isn't that exciting?
In Doom Eternal, you step into the armor of the Slayer, an unstoppable and unyielding force with a singular mission – Raze Hell and save humanity. Battle demons in an epic single-player campaign that takes you to Earth, to Mars, through Hell, and across dimensions never seen before.
Your arsenal of powerful upgradeable guns, grenades and abilities makes you a force on the battlefield as you blast, stab, and shoot your way through demon hordes. Take what you need to survive – health, armor, and ammo – from your fallen enemies during the heat of battle.
The story doesn’t end when Doom Eternal’s credit roll. Continue seeking your vengeance in Doom Eternal: The Ancient Gods – Part One, launching on October 20 on the Xbox Store. The legions of Hell have razed the heavens, threatening to expand across dimensions. Battle your way to the heart of the threat and decide the fate of the cosmos.

It was "OK" at best. 2016 DOOM was better.
I didn't like stopping every couple of minutes to puzzle out finding the collectables, which have real in-game benefits, didn't like having to use the weapons in specific ways to complete challenges to unlock their ultimate abilities, didn't like that there wasn't a new game + mode, so if you wanted to play it again you'd have to find all the collectables again, so i didn't play it again.
Haven't played enough Eternal yet to say which i prefer, i liked the weapon balance in Eternal initially but the further i go the weaker they're getting.
