The DOOM Collection is officially confirmed for Evercade — nine classic id Software releases on one physical cartridge, out 30 October 2026 for £24.99 / $29.99 / €29.99. Blaze also announced a limited-edition Evercade Nexus DOOM Edition bundle, capped at just 3,000 units.
THE REVEAL TRAILER
Blaze first teased the collaboration back on 4 February 2026, timed to id Software’s 35th anniversary. A July 2026 retailer listing leak suggested a red cartridge with just DOOM and DOOM II — the official lineup turned out to be considerably bigger than that.
WHAT’S ON THE CARTRIDGE
All nine are id Software’s original DOOM releases, officially licensed and running as native ports rather than emulation:
- DOOM — the original 1993 classic (1-3 players)
- DOOM II: Hell on Earth — the 1994 sequel (1-4 players)
- Master Levels for DOOM II — the official 1995 add-on level pack
- TNT: Evilution — one of the two Final DOOM episodes
- The Plutonia Experiment — the other Final DOOM episode, notoriously tough
- No Rest for the Living — the 2010 XBLA-era bonus episode
- SIGIL — John Romero’s 2019 fan episode, released for DOOM’s 25th anniversary
- SIGIL II — Romero’s 2023 follow-up, made for DOOM’s 30th anniversary
- DOOM: Deathmatch — a dedicated collection of Deathmatch-specific levels (1-4 players)
It’s a genuinely comprehensive package — both mission packs, both Romero-made SIGIL episodes, and a proper Deathmatch selection alongside the two core games. These are new native ports built specifically for Evercade hardware, not emulated versions of existing console releases, and include custom gameplay modifiers, adjustable violence settings, and dedicated multiplayer modes like Chaosmatch and Instagib. Full details are also on the official cartridge page on evercade.co.uk.
EVERCADE NEXUS DOOM EDITION — LIMITED TO 3,000 UNITS
Alongside the standard cartridge, Blaze is releasing a one-off Evercade Nexus DOOM Edition bundle: a DOOM-themed Nexus console with exclusive packaging, paired with the DOOM Collection cartridge and a set of physical extras. The bundle includes:
- Evercade Nexus with a DOOM-inspired design
- The DOOM Collection cartridge
- Exclusive DOOM EVA hard case
- Numbered certificate of authenticity
- DOOM keyring
- Poster
- Comic
- Screen protector
- Charging cable for the Nexus
Only 3,000 units are being made worldwide, sold exclusively through Funstock. Pre-orders open 7 August at 3pm UK / 10am ET / 7am PT — given the limited run, it’s worth being ready at that exact time if you want one. Both the standard cartridge and the Nexus DOOM Edition are due 30 October 2026.
PLAYING DOOM ON EVERCADE
The standard DOOM Collection cartridge works across all current Evercade hardware — Alpha, VS-R, EXP-R, Nexus, and the HyperMegaTech Super Pocket. If you want dual analogue sticks for it, the official Evercade Wireless Controller (£34.99, released 28 September 2026, for VS/VS-R/Alpha) lines up well with this release — not an official bundle, but good timing if you’re planning ahead. See the Controller Compatibility Database for the full rundown of what works.
