Have you ever imagined the Doom Guy as a Doom Girl? The creative director of Doom Eternal has given a lot of thought to this and described how such a character would fit into the universe of the game.
Hugo Martin of developer id Software recently appeared on an official Twitch stream and offered some thoughts on the idea of a Doom Slayer woman.
“I thought about it [adding a female Doom Slayer]”He said.” I think if we did that, I would like it to be lethal. I think it’s interesting how it would impact Glory Kills and the weapons it would have. The fighting style [would] certainly [be] all aggression, absolutely, but a different kind of aggression “.
Many players have wondered why they didn’t just release a female Doom Slayer as a playable skin. However, Martin revealed that he and other developers would have liked such a character to be more than just an aesthetic option.
“I would really strive to impact gameplay in a way that is meaningful. […] Tonally, when it comes to designing the action, you think, ‘if The Slayer was a Ferrari, then what would a female Slayer be? What would you be a medieval killer? ‘ How would this affect things and what kind of analogies will you draw from it to allow it to influence the experience? It would certainly be nice ”.
Although Martin didn’t rule out introducing such a character, he didn’t make any promises either. If a female Doom Slayer were introduced in Doom Eternal, she would be the first female playable character in the franchise’s history.
