Limited Run Games has announced a unique collector's edition of the iconic first-person shooter Doom, which comes with a twist - the packaging itself can play the game on a built-in screen. Dubbed the Doom and Doom II Will It Run Edition, this limited edition collection will be available for preorder on April 18th, 2025, at 10:00 AM ET, with only 666 units available worldwide, priced at $666.66.

The Will It Run Edition is part of a trio of collector's editions, including a $29.99 Standard Edition and a $99.99 Big Box Edition. However, it's the exclusive goodies included in the Will It Run Edition that justify the hefty price tag. In addition to the Doom-playing box, the collection includes four hours of the game's soundtrack on four cassette tapes, a three-inch Cacodemon figurine that floats atop a magnetic base, and a pack of random trading cards.

One of the most exciting inclusions is a Doom-playing handheld shaped like a Cacodemon, with several of its teeth doubling as controller buttons. This unique accessory is sure to be a hit with Doom fans, and it's hoped that Limited Run Games will consider selling it as a standalone item in the future.

In terms of gameplay, the Will It Run Edition includes Doom, Doom II, TNT: Evilution, The Plutonia Experiment, Master Levels for Doom II, No Rest for the Living, Sigil and Sigil II, a new Deathmatch pack with 25 maps, and Legacy of Rust, which was released last year. The games also feature enhancements such as alternate soundtracks, upgraded visuals, modern controller support with gyroscopic aiming, new accessibility options, and eight new translations including Korean, simplified and traditional Chinese, Portuguese, and Polish.

The steep price tag of $666.66 may raise eyebrows, but Limited Run Games spokesperson Alex Verrey has confirmed that there are no plans to change the pricing due to tariffs. For die-hard Doom fans, the exclusive goodies and enhanced gameplay experience may be worth the investment.

This unique collector's edition is a testament to the enduring popularity of Doom, which has been a staple of the gaming industry for decades. With its innovative packaging and exclusive accessories, the Doom and Doom II Will It Run Edition is sure to be a sought-after item among gamers and collectors alike.

As the gaming industry continues to evolve, it's exciting to see companies like Limited Run Games pushing the boundaries of what a collector's edition can offer. Whether you're a longtime Doom fan or just looking for a unique gaming experience, the Will It Run Edition is definitely worth considering.
