Doom's Latest Limited Edition Comes With a Cacodemon That Plays Doom

A new limited edition of Doom is set to launch, featuring unique items like a toy that runs the game.

PC gaming has a long-standing tradition of bringing Doom to any conceivable hardware capable of running it.

Last year, id Software surprised everyone by launching an updated bundle of Doom and Doom 2 for modern systems, which has been quite successful. Now, Limited Run Games is preparing to release a physical version of this bundle. The pre-order for the boxed edition starts on April 18, offering different packaging options: a standard case, a retro-style big box, or an extravagant Will It Run Edition limited to just 666 copies for an outrageous price of $666.66.

This edition’s box is not just a container; it is an actual device that can run Doom. Even more bizarrely, it includes a small Cacodemon toy that can also run the game, alongside some trading cards and the original soundtrack on cassette. It’s a wild concept—the box itself plays Doom!

Doom continues to be one of the most celebrated games, symbolizing a legacy that has inspired countless other titles. Its groundbreaking technology and design principles have left an indelible mark on the gaming world.

For more fun, the community loves to share the absurdities of running Doom in unconventional places like BIOS, Notepad, and even on quirky devices like wifi-enabled toothbrushes or through gut bacteria. The excitement for such releases only escalates with unique editions like this one.
