Getting more and more worried about Doom Eternal on Switch

You can pre order the game off amazon.

So I see, but even there it's lacking even cover art, while at most every other outlet I've checked its like it doesn't exist, with only PS4, Xbone, and PC versions listed. 

It's not showing on the eshop "coming soon" list either. I brushed this off back when it was ages away, figuring it was just the usual treatment third party Switch ports get, but with it's release drawing near, I can't help but feel concerned.

It's total absence from the recent Direct and even the timing of Doom 64 are suspicious too; it's almost like they're positioning Doom 64 as an apology; "sorry about Eternal, have this instead."

I have seen games not show up on the "coming soon" list for pre order till much closer to their release than DOOM Eternal is not.  Plus Wolfenstein Youngblood released on time, and that was the same dev/publisher.

I am not saying a delay is not possible, I am just saying I remain optimistic.  Honestly there is so much to play on Switch, it would not be the end of the world of the game got pushed back to Jan or Feb om Switch.  It would suck not having the day and date release, but I feel like a delay into that particular window would have no negative impact on sales.  It might even help the game of it reviews well on PS4/X1, as Jan and Feb there will be a lot less to compete with.
