The Doom Slayer gives off a very, very serious vibe, but if this latest DOOM Eternal trailer is anything to go by, he loves to customise his armour and don an entirely different outfit once in a while. That's right, when the next great id Software title drops next week on PlayStation 4, you'll be able to tweak nearly everything covering the protagonist's body.
As the footage above suggests, you can opt for the franchise's classic, blocky number with bright green armour or even a set of protective clothing which looks like it has come straight out of an old Rome coliseum. The Doom Slayer can be constantly on fire, or simply just change the colour of the standard armour's decals. The lovely, cutesy getup you see at the end of the trailer appears to be a Twitch Prime exclusive, so those of you who get your Amazon deliveries done quickly can take advantage of this offer.
We reckon this sort of character customisation will be directly tied to the game's Battle Pass-style progression system, with Bethesda promising that the experience will not feature any microtransactions whatsoever. How do you plan on customising the Doom Slayer? Wreak havoc in the comments below.

It's not just Cyberpunk that's doing customisation in an FPS game
I plan on not customising the Doom Slayer, it's a first person game so what's the point?
For some extra money no doubt.
@majklpetr Despite the fact that microtransactions aren’t in the game? Pleeeasse read the article.
@carlos82 Other people will see you online, right? I mean, come to think of it, FPS have had stuff like this at least as far back as Quake. Not only did the games come with a lot of character choice for multiplayer, there were countless sites where you could download new meshes and skins and look like Darth Vader or the Predator or whatever.
@Matroska if other people want to that's fine by me, just personally I have no interest in such a thing and I'll be playing mainly single player anyway. As long as I can put the guns in the middle of the screen I'll be happy
that reminds me i REALLY should get round to playing the last DOOM at some point, i have had it for years now and never touched it
To everyone saying why it's an FPS? I mean life is an FPS and we style ourselves don't we?
The classic Doom Guy look makes me happy.
People complain when given a free option. Welcome to 2020.
@LiamCroft well they will be. It is Bethesda. I bet you they put them in after reviews will be out.
Yes, can't wait to customise him and not see it!
@LiamCroft Just like Bethesda say no PTW items in the Atomic Shop?
Looks like you can finally play as Butt Stallion.
Presumably for multi-player, otherwise what would be the point?
@Matroska i think it was quake that i downloaded a skins pack that made everyone look like southpark characters. That was great, but then i realized how easy it was to see kenny because he was bright orange so i downloaded a pack to make everyone bright pink.
