Since the release of Doom Eternal, players have been wondering what is next for the series. Players have been able to enjoy the game's latest DLC expansion, The Ancient Gods Part 2, which wrapped up the game's story. But the franchise isn't done yet.
Following the conclusion of Doom Eternal, players may not have to wait too long before a new Doom game comes out. Though, it won't be one they expect. Alpha Dog, a mobile game studio, was previously acquired by Bethesda Softworks in 2019. It is known for developing games such as Wraithborne and MonstroCity: Rampage, and is currently developing a spin-off game for the Doom series called Mighty Doom.

While both the 2016 Doom and the sequel Doom Eternal were available for consoles and PC, Mighty Doom will be a mobile game through and through. What Alpha Dog will be adding to the series is a top-down shooter where players are a smaller version of the Doom Slayer slaying demons. There's already a trailer out for the game showing some of its gameplay.
Naturally, there will be plenty of differences between Mighty Doom and the id Software Doom games. For the most part, the game will retain the overall designs used for the Doom Slayer and the demons from the recent games. Some of the featured enemies include the Imps, the floating Cacodemons, Gargoyles, corrupted Soldiers, and the spider-like Arachnotron. However, the games diverge from there.
The trailer for Mighty Doom shows players will use various weapons as they run and gun down demons while avoiding traps. Players will even be able to perform some executions based on the Doom Glory Kill executions, like ripping out the eye of a Cacodemon. The trailer shows the game will use a card system for selecting different weapon abilities to use simultaneously in the game. Some of the abilities include a diagonal scattershot ability, rounds ricocheting off enemies, and projectiles that bounce off the environment.
There will even be bosses to fight in the game, the trailer shows the miniature Doom Slayer taking on a Cyber-Mancubus and even perform an execution on it. Currently, Mighty Doom is available on the Google Play Store for Android devices. According to a Windows Central report, the game has been in early access for several months now. Reportedly, it was very difficult to find in the site's listings or by searching for it.
According to the trailer description, players can play Mighty Doom for free now. At the time of writing, the game is currently available to download and install from the Google Play Store. Players will now be able to rip and tear through demons as the mini Doom Slayer on mobile devices.
Mighty Doom is currently available for Android.
