Its gameplay resembles the action-oriented tone of the classic Doom games much more than the horror style of Doom 3, with a heavy emphasis on strong weapons, fast and agile player movement, and quickly paced encounters with large groups of foes. The new Doom has been built on an engine which id Software has dubbed id Tech 6, a successor to their id Tech 5 engine. The game features a story detailing the invasion of the UAC Mars Base by the forces of Hell. Early planning and development began in August 2007, and continued into 2017 with the release of patches, downloadable content packs, and planned updates. It is the third major game created by id Software and published by Bethesda Softworks since their acquisition by ZeniMax Media, following Rage and Doom 3: BFG Edition. The game was added to the Google Stadia streaming service on August 18, 2020. An additional port to the Nintendo Switch by developer Panic Button was released on November 10, 2017.
