Nintendo fans may have had to wait until late 2017 to be able to sample the very excellent DOOM on the Nintendo Switch, thanks to Panic Button Games, but clearly the port was well received, for today Bethesda has made one heck of announcement.
Whilst sharing new gameplay on Twitter earlier today and on Twitch, news of Switch release was revealed, and there is a good chance Switch owners could be getting it in 2019, when PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC gets it.
