Doom Eternal's latest update adds new Battlemode map, Doom Classic filter, more Ups the frequency of Empowered Demons too. News by Matt Wales Reporter Updated on 26 Jun 2020 22 comments Doom Eternal's latest update has arrived on Xbox One, PS4, and PC, introducing a range of new features including a brand-new Battlemode map and, for the aesthetes in the house, a selection of visual filters to fancy up your screen. On the 2v1 Battlemode front, there's the aforementioned new arena, known as Torment, which features a deserted UAC outpost, abandoned after the Slayer prevented Hell's invasion of Earth.
