Update: apparently motion controls to initiate glory kills were in the previous build, even though there's some confusion over the controller options screens. Either way there is sadly nothing to suggest they've added gyro
So previously, while the media were playing the original demo, Bethesda had confirmed that DOOM on Switch would not have motion controls support- https://www.rollingstone.com/glixel...at-30fps-multiplayer-download-is-9-gb-w504975
However, the more recent build seems to show that motion controls is now indeed an option in the settings menu-
For those who can't watch:
There were previous videos showing the settings menu where there were no mentions of motion controls, so this is something they newly added, maybe due to the amount of feedback requesting gyro controls.
UPDATE:
Damn I may have jumped the gun.
I do recall seeing (and talking about here) the lack of a motion control toggle in the options so that's strange that it was there before. But yeah turns out this is unlikely to be added gyro aiming.

Update: Bethesda got back to me on a few other questions that have been floating around out there. I've updated the story to reflect the answers, but here they are for those who already read the story.
And, unfortunately, no, the game does not include Splatoon-like motion controls.

Seems the game now has motion controls.

That motion controls option was in the first preview build journalists saw last month. 99 percent sure the only thing it does is let you shake the right JoyCon to do melee attacks and Glory Kills. I played the game with the motion controls setting on and that's all it did.
