Gameplay reveal of Doom Eternal is on August 10th.
Contents
Doom Eternal gameplay will be shown for the first time on August 10, Subnautica is coming to PS4, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider will sound better than ever. That, and more, in the Night Watch.
It’s coming home … at least the English team, because Croatia managed to eliminate the British team last night. However, De Wacht is anything but disabled and has a fresh load of news and especially many trailers in store for this Night Watch. Shall we then?
Gameplay reveal of Doom Eternal is on August 10th
We can expect the first gameplay of Doom Eternal announced at E3 on August 10, Bethesda announced via Twitter. We already knew the gameplay reveal would take place during QuakeCon, but now we have the exact date as well. The reveal will be broadcast through Bethesda’s Twitch channel.
At E3 we only got to see the teaser below. But since the previous Doom was a delightful new game in the series, the Guard has quite a bit of confidence in this sequel. It can’t be August 10 soon enough!
Override: Mech City Brawl announced
You may not know Games mode that well. It’s a pretty new publisher, which came out with Extinction in April. Now it has announced its second game, Override: Mech City Brawl, which is coming to PS4, Xbox One and PC on December 4th. This 3D mech-fighter is being developed by The Balance Inc. and let players battle it out with twelve different mechs.
It also visits locations in San Francisco, Egypt and Japan, among others. During battle, new accessories can be unlocked which can then be linked to a mech of your choice in ‘The Garage’. In addition to a single player campaign, there will also be 1v1 and 2v2 battles, a free-for-all mode for four players and a co-op mode where each player controls a different limb of a mech.
You can sign up for a closed beta that will run from August 10-12 through the game’s website.
Subnautica is coming to the PlayStation 4
Panic Button is a very busy studio. For example, it has provided ports of Doom, Rocket League and Wolfenstein 2 on the Switch, but it now also helps Unknown Worlds Entertainment with the development of a PS4 version of the survival game Subnautica.
Subnautica has been playable on PC in Early Access for quite some time now. In the game, players explore a beautiful underwater world. An Xbox One version has also been announced for a while, and Panic Button is also going to help with that version to get that version out as soon as possible. The PS4 version should be available at the end of this year.
The Overwatch League will be broadcast on Disney XD, ABC and ESPN
Blizzard is tackling the upcoming Overwatch League in a big way. The company has signed a deal with ESPN to broadcast the competition on various channels, namely ABC, Disney XD and ESPN 1, 2 and 3. The first broadcast is already tonight (as in, the night from Wednesday to Thursday).
The deal mainly revolves around live broadcasts and replays, but ESPN says it wants to ‘make full use’ of all content that can come from the Overwatch League. So there may be more programs to come. It is not all that important for gamers in the Netherlands, but nevertheless important for the mainstream content of games worldwide.

Joaquin Phoenix is really going to play the Joker
It was already known that Warner Bros. wanted to make an original film about the Joker, and in recent weeks there have been rumors that Joaquin Phoenix would get the lead role in the film. The Hollywood Reporter now claims that this movie – with Phoenix as the bad guy – will go through for good. Todd Phillips (The Hangover) would direct the film in New York from September.
According to initial reports, the film would not only be an interesting and dark look into the character’s mind, but also a warning in the broader sense of the word. Hmm …

De Wacht already said it at the beginning of this Night Watch: a lot of videos have been released that are worth posting. There we go:
- Shadow of the Tomb Raider – about the music in the game
- Twin Mirror – a new production video about the new game from Life is Strange developer Dontnod
- Planet Coaster Vintage dlc – out now, so a launch trailer
- Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition – Coming to PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC this winter
- No Man’s Sky – Hello Games takes you through everything that has changed since the game’s launch
Later today it really happened: then season 5 of Fortnite starts. Read all about it here. Before that happens, Epic treats us to one last teaser, the picture below. It says ‘Worlds collide’. What does that mean? We’ve already seen how objects from the game appear in the real world and objects from the real world were suddenly found in the game, but how exactly will that manifest itself in the fifth season?
From 10:00 today we can get started with the fifth season and it will finally no longer be a mystery. De Wacht has just in time passed all challenges of the fourth season and is ready for it!
Have a nice Thursday everyone! The weekend is near … just hang on!
