Interested what the architecture of DOOM Eternal is like, was there some talk / blog post about it?

I believe it’s only been mentioned in passing and likely will be talked about at conferences soonish. Here’s a HN thread from when it was first talked about:

There was an early talk about using a job system to run the Destiny renderer and then this one for the whole engine which is a very similar premise to the way DOOM(2016) and then DOOM Eternal evolved.
