DOOM’s Latest Launches June 26, 2025
Despite its high price point,the Will It Run Edition is a wonderful and incredibly meta celebration ofDOOM, and pre-orders for it open just under a month ahead of the series' latest installment.DOOM: The Dark Agesis a prequelset for release on August 18, 2025, and continues id Software’s modern reboot, which started in 2016 withDOOMand continued through 2020’sDOOM Eternal.
The Dark Ages' new weapons and combatwill certainly be the highlight of the year for the legendary series, but a brand-new physical release ofDOOM + DOOM 2helps keep the series' very important legacy alive.DOOMwasn’t the first FPS, but it’s arguably the most influential, and Limited Run Games lettingDOOMessentially play itself with the Will It Run Edition is a fitting celebration of one of gaming’s longest-running jokes.
