Under E3 løftede Bethesda sløret for efterfølgeren til Doom, og det hedder Doom Eternal. Det er ikke første gang at en udvikler går efter en undertitel snarere end et tal, men fans har alligevel undret sig over hvorfor de ikke bare har smækket et tal bagpå for at skabe kontinuitet.

I et interview med IGN fortæller Marty Stratton at det for at undgå kryds-branding, et problem de havde med Doom fra 2016.

"You hear us say it all the time, we call it Doom 2016, and the internet has called it Doom 2016. We go back and forth on whether it was a mistake to call it Doom. I still don't think it was a mistake, because we really were kind of drawing a new line in the sand. We needed something that had meaning and spoke to what we were doing with lore and how we want people to feel about the game. And Doom Eternal was something that just felt right."
