Doom Eternal's Horde Mode Launches On Nintendo Switch
Doom Eternal Update 6.66 is finally live on Nintendo Switch, adding the Horde Mode, Battlemode 2.0, new Arenas, new cosmetics, the playable Dread Knight, and three new Master Levels. It's a free update so if you have the game, you can get stuck in now at no extra charge.

Doom's Horde Mode is what it says on the tin. It's a round-based arcade mode where the aim is to get a high score, surviving for as long as possible against an onslaught of demons.

Playing Horde Mode will unlock you new icons, skins, nameplates, and more, so it's worth it if you want to style out your Doom Slayer. Similarly, Battlemode 2.0 has a bunch of rewards on offer - it's the revamped multiplayer that now has streak-based matchmaking, pitting players against those of similar skill.
Update 6.66 also adds a little easter egg. Playing Battlemode 2.0 can earn you the Archvile demon skin who many believe is a nod to Frieza. There's certainly a resemblance, at the least.
