id Software says DOOM Eternal is the company's Evil Dead 2 moment

So...it's going to be good

GN Version 5.0

DOOM was a big hit in 2016, and gave fans of the franchise exactly what they wanted. How on earth do you follow that up with a sequel? In a Shacknews interview with id Software's Hugo Martin, an interesting analogy was used to explain the company's approach.

"This is our Evil Dead 2. That's what I think. 2016 was Evil Dead 1, in terms of the video game being like, really really good, and the fans love it. We'd like to think that it's going to stand the test of time and be around for a couple of years, but when Evil Dead 2 came out, you were like Evil Dead 1, respect, Evil Dead 2 is really Evil Dead, you know? We just feel like this is a great expression of what Doom in the modern age can be."
