DOOM Eternal - Shoulder Launcher Previz

Very early visual development for what the shoulder Launcher could look like and function based on design's idea. At this point in time there wasn't a clear idea of what it would be, we were just reaching for what it could be. Thanks to Lead Gameplay Designer Peter Sokel's direction with some freedom, I just went ham on coming up with various ideas on what could be launchers, inspired by the Predator of course. Similar to the final version they were interchangeable components that you could 'swap' out. Again, being so early in development, it was built around the Preator suit as we waited on Eternal's new design.
