Will Doom Eternal have co-op or splitscreen?

Unfortunately, those looking to play through the Doom Eternal campaign with a friend will be disappointed to learn that Doom Eternal does not offer any kind of co-op or splitscreen play. The game will, however, launch with the Battlemode multiplayer, which allows two demons to team up against a single Doom Slayer.

It’s unclear if id Software have plans to release additional multiplayer modes down the line, or if the game will remain as is after launch. While it’s no doubt saddening to learn that Doom Eternal won’t have co-op, you can rest assured knowing that the game will have plenty to offer. During an interview, Hugo Martin revealed that the game will feature a campaign twice as long as doom 2016’s singleplayer.
