Limited Run Games is unleashing a truly devilish collector’s edition: a $666 package containing Doom and Doom II, but the real kicker? The box itself plays Doom! This isn’t your average retro gaming release; this is a meticulously crafted tribute to the classic shooter, brimming with enough extras to justify (maybe?) the hefty price tag.
Only 666 copies of the “Will It Run Edition” will be available, a number as fitting as the price. Alongside the game (available on Switch, Xbox, PS5, and PC), you’ll find four hours of the soundtrack on cassette tapes (a fun retro touch!), a floating Cacodemon figurine, and a set of trading cards. But the real showstopper? A Cacodemon-shaped handheld console, complete with teeth that double as controller buttons, allowing you to play Doom on the go. It’s a collectible that’s as unique as it is extravagant.
Beyond the physical goodies, the Will It Run Edition packs a punch in terms of game content. You’re not just getting the original Doom and Doom II – it bundles in TNT: Evilution, The Plutonia Experiment, Master Levels for Doom II, No Rest for the Living, Sigil, and Sigil II. That’s a lot of demon-slaying action! Plus, there are added enhancements like alternate soundtracks, upgraded visuals, modern controller support with gyroscopic aiming, and several new language options. LRG spokesperson Alex Verrey confirmed to The Verge that the pricing won’t be affected by tariffs, so that $666.66 price tag is set in stone.
While a more affordable standard edition ($29.99) and a larger boxed edition ($99.99) are also planned, the Will It Run Edition is clearly targeting hardcore Doom fans willing to pay a premium for a truly unique and memorable piece of gaming history. Pre-orders start Friday, April 18th, 2025 at 10:00 AM ET. Will you be one of the lucky (or unlucky?) 666 to snag this collector’s item? The question remains… will it run Doom? The answer is a resounding, and appropriately hellish, yes.
