DOOM Eternal's Getting A Single-Player Horde Mode
If you weren't aware, Invasion Mode was first announced two years ago, which would've let players randomly invade another player's match as a demon, attempting to kill them. However, that's now been cancelled and id Software offered this statement:
As many are aware, we intended to release a free Invasion Mode update for the game; however, the unforeseen consequences of the pandemic and remote working impacted the progress of development for this addition... With these factors in mind, we have decided to redirect our focus from Invasion Mode to creating a totally new single-player horde mode.
While we don't have a timeframe yet on this Horde Mode update, we'll be sure to keep you informed as we learn more.
