QuakeCon is taking place this week, but it has never been only about Quake – there’s also plenty of room for DOOM, with new announcements and merch to be expected. As part of the 30th anniversary event, Evercade has unveiled a special DOOM Edition version of its Nexus handheld, along with The DOOM Collection featuring the two original titles and “6 amazing map packs”.

The DOOM Edition bundle features a unique DOOM-themed version of the physical cartridge-based handheld; the DOOM Collection shipping alongside it comes with a boxed cartridge. Extra goodies include a DOOM-branded carrying case, poster, comic, and more. The handheld can be pre-ordered later today, and pre-orders are already up for The DOOM Collection.
