Doom and Doom II Physical Editions Coming Soon<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are physical editions of the iconic shooters Doom<\/em> and Doom II<\/em> coming out, thanks to Limited Run Games. All editions ship with both games, but the highlight is something called the Will it Run Edition<\/em>. This one comes with all kinds of extra goodies, including a game box that actually runs the original Doom<\/em>. You read that right. Box play Doom<\/em>. All you have to do is connect a USB controller, as the box also has a port.<\/p>\n

It costs $666, which is a nod to the devilish source material, and is being kept to a limited run of 666 copies. It comes with the aforementioned screen-enabled game box that runs Doom<\/em>, but that\u2019s just the beginning. The combo pack ships with the soundtrack on cassette, a certificate of authenticity, and a trading card pack with five cards.<\/p>\n

It comes with a couple of toys based on one of the franchise\u2019s most iconic enemies. There\u2019s a detailed three-inch Cacodemon that connects to a five-inch base, which looks pretty nifty. There\u2019s a smaller handheld Cacodemon that, you\u2019ll never guess, also runs Doom<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This edition is available for Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X\/S, and PC. The PC version, however, ships with a download code and not physical copies of both games. Preorders start on April 18 and end on May 18, with a release sometime after that.<\/p>\n

If $666 is too rich, or demonic, for your blood, there are also cheaper editions available. The Big Box Edition<\/em> costs $100 and ships with both games, a really big box, a trading card set, and the soundtrack on cassette. The Standard Edition<\/em> only includes the games and costs $30.<\/p>\n

However, these aren\u2019t straight ports of two 30-year-old games. The developer has made some enhancements for modern players. The visuals have been upgraded, with a native 60 FPS frame rate and 16:9 support. The weapon carousel has been updated for faster switching, and the dev has added gyroscopic aiming. These titles now offer local four-player co-op and online play.<\/p>\n

The games also include a bunch of new maps and long-standing community mods, with the ability to integrate new mods. There\u2019s even a brand-new episode called Legacy of Rust<\/em> that was co-designed by id, Nightdive Studios, and MachineGames. Players can also switch between the original music and a modern soundtrack.<\/p>\n
