DOOM Series Announced for Evercade: Classic FPS Franchise Expands to New Platform

Blaze Entertainment, the innovative developer behind the Evercade handheld and console platforms, has announced that the legendary DOOM series will be making its way to the Evercade family of devices.

This move brings one of the most iconic first-person shooter franchises in gaming history, developed by id Software, to a new audience of retro gaming enthusiasts.

DOOM, originally launched by id Software in 1993, set the gold standard for the FPS genre with its groundbreaking graphics, fast-paced gameplay, and influential design.

While the series has seen releases across a multitude of platforms—including PC, console, and even the Nintendo Switch—its arrival on Evercade marks a significant expansion into dedicated retro gaming hardware. In a recent teaser, Blaze Entertainment refrained from divulging specific details, but the collection is anticipated to feature at least the first two classic DOOM titles that defined the franchise in the 1990s.

These games laid the foundation for DOOM’s enduring legacy, a legacy that continues with the franchise’s latest chapter, DOOM: Dark Ages, scheduled for release in 2025. Speaking on the partnership, Blaze Entertainment representatives highlighted the importance of bringing revered franchises like DOOM to Evercade’s growing ecosystem.

The Evercade hardware lineup, which includes devices such as the EXP-R, VS-R, Super Pocket, and Alpha, has previously welcomed other notable series, including Tomb Raider, Legacy of Kain, Broken Sword, and Duke Nukem. The addition of DOOM is a testament to Evercade’s ongoing mission to preserve and celebrate video game history by making seminal titles accessible on modern retro-inspired devices.

As Evercade continues to expand its library, the inclusion of DOOM reinforces the platform’s position as a haven for fans of classic gaming experiences. The DOOM series is set to join Evercade’s roster alongside other legendary franchises, further enhancing the device’s appeal to both longtime enthusiasts and new players looking to experience video game history firsthand.

With Blaze Entertainment’s commitment to quality emulation and collector-focused releases, the arrival of DOOM is poised to be a landmark moment for the Evercade community. Stay tuned for further updates on the release date, included titles, and additional features as Blaze Entertainment continues to unveil more details about this highly anticipated collection.
