This Limited-Edition 'DOOM' Release Comes In a Box That Runs 'DOOM'

Limited Run Games is releasing a limited-edition DOOM DOOM II: Will It Run Edition box set, a playful nod to the enduring "Can it run DOOM?" meme. This extravagant set includes remastered versions of the first two DOOM games, playable across Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox, and PC. The highlight? A physical box capable of running the original DOOM game itself!

The set also boasts a miniature handheld console, a Cacodemon collectible, trading cards, music cassettes, and bonus games like TNT: Evilution, The Plutonia Experiment, No Rest for the Living, Sigil, Sigil II, DOOM II Master Levels, 25 new deathmatch maps, and the 2024 DOOM expansion, Legacy of Rust.

For those seeking a more budget-friendly option, Limited Run Games offers a Big Box Edition and a Standard Edition, though these omit the playable DOOM box and Cacodemon figure.

While high-resolution images and detailed specifications remain elusive, the DOOM-in-a-box appears to utilize an SBC (single-board computer) and requires a separate USB controller. The $666 price tag, limited to 666 units, is arguably the most striking feature of this release.

The DOOM DOOM II: Will It Run Edition box set launches April 18th at 10 AM ET.
