id Software has announced it has scrapped plans for Doom Eternal’s Invasion Mode, and will instead offer Horde Mode in its stead.<\/p>\n

According to id<\/a>, it has also seen how much players enjoy the range of gameplay and combat available in The Ancient Gods expansions and master levels, so it has decided to bring players a different mode instead: Horde Mode. <\/p>\n

It is a new, single-player experience that the studio feels will offer more of “the diversity and challenge” players have been looking for in the game. <\/p>\n

In addition, the team is continuing work on a refresh of Battlemode, which includes a more competitive, rank-based structure, a number of gameplay and balance updates, and another new map. <\/p>\n

More information will be shared during QuakeCon in August.<\/p>\n
