According to id Software's [[Marty Stratton]] and [[Hugo Martin]], the game features an even more powerful [[Doom Slayer]] taking on twice as many types of [[monster|demons]], with portions of the game set on [[Earth]] and , [[Phobos]] as well as other unidentified regions said to be new to , [[Hell]], and (in a first for the Doom series) [[Heaven]]. Amongst Among his new abilities, the Doom Slayer can execute a short-range dash up to twice in a row, even in mid-air, swing from poles and can climb and jump between specially marked walls in a manner reminiscent of the ''{{wp|Tomb Raider}}'' series. Special orbs bearing the Slayer's mark seem to replace the previous game's [[rune]]s - one such featured in the August 10 gameplay reveal grants a "blood punch" ability that increases the player's melee power after a glory kill.

A new dynamic model damage system called "[[destructible demons]]" will be a prominent feature of the game, allowing monsters to actively reflect the amount and types of damage they have taken. This system has tactical advantages as well, as it allows for weapons to be destroyed to disable certain enemy attacks. Mobility has been expanded; a new dash ability has been added as well as wall-climbing and swinging on monkey bars found throughout the environment. The super shotgun also features a "meathook" that allows the Doom Slayer to grapple onto an enemy and pull themselves towards it.

It has also been confirmed While it was stated at QuakeCon 2018 that traditional multiplayer will would be included as well, this time being developed in-house at id Software.,<ref name="pcgamesn1"/>it was later explained that ordinary modes such as [[deathmatch]] are not currently planned for inclusion. According to the E3 2019 announcement, there will instead be a "Battlemode", where one player controlling the Doom Slayer fights two demons controlled by other players, who can also summon weaker AI-controlled demons such as former humans.
