Google has promised that Stadia will be compatible with a variety of controllers, and specifically showed the Xbox One controller during its GDC 2019 keynote presentation. However, Stadia will also have its own specific controller, which looks somewhat like a cross between the Xbox One controller and the DualShock 4.

He then lands in said building, completely unscathed, and proceeds to start ripping and tearing more demons apart as if nothing had even just happened. It’s hilarious, awesome, and just continues to add to the overall idea that you are an unstoppable demon-killing mach
id’s philosophy extends to the game’s setup. Humanity isn’t all on board with demon’s entering their plane of existence. Some share Olivia Pierce’s love of hell, and the rest want nothing to do with it. It’s up to players do discover what happened to humanity between the two games. Also left ambiguous is whether we’ll see angels or Heaven in Doom Eternal. Concept art displayed at Quakecon hinted at the possibility, but the developers aren’t saying anything yet.
