Here&#8217;s exactly what he had to say:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I wish I could give you like specifics cause I know&#8230;I read all the comments, when we say anything about Doom Eternal, like there&#8217;s always one out of every five comments, yeah &#8216;how about you tell us about the Switch&#8217;. I know people are anxious.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re trying to make it the best version of the game it possibly can be. So we&#8217;ve been working with Panic Button, they&#8217;re also &#8211; like everybody &#8211; work from home, so it&#8217;s taking a little bit longer to get there&#8230;we want it to be everything it possibly can be. It&#8217;s very close, and we&#8217;re trying to be very uncompromising with what it needs to be, because there&#8217;s a high demand for it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;We will be talking about it again, in the not-to-distant future. It is close, but I can&#8217;t say exactly how close.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<p>So &#8211; it&#8217;s &#8220;close&#8221; and we can expect to hear more about this version soon.
