Doom Eternal won’t have SnapMap, but it will have single-player DLC

The focus for today’s Doom Eternal reveal was squarely on the campaign, but the previous game bolstered that with SnapMap - a set of level creation tools that let you build levels out of prefab parts. The feature wasn’t as deep as it could have been, though it did allow for some fun creations. But id has decided to cut SnapMap this time around and focus on more substantial helpings of extra content. “Right now we don’t plan on bringing SnapMap back into Doom Eternal,” director Marty Stratton says in a Q&A roundtable. “We’re really focusing those resources on doing some of the things that players wanted more from us post-launch.” For many players, that was additional campaign content, and Stratton says that’s a big focus this time around. “One of the big criticisms - and even if I could go back and do it again - I think we’d do campaign DLC after launch. People really wanted that. They wanted stuff created by us. SnapMap was really cool. I loved it. But it didn’t really scratch that itch for people. But we know we can.”
