Xbox unleashes Doom-themed controllers for upcoming new Doom game
As anticipation builds for the release of Bethesda and id Software’s Doom: The Dark Ages, Xbox has unveiled a new line of limited-edition accessories that are sure to get any Slayer’s heart pounding. Leading the charge are two stunning, Doom-themed controllers designed to immerse you even further in the medieval-futuristic gorefest. If you like your controllers to match the game you’re playing or you just want something that’s cooler than your normal controllers, then it’s something to look forward to. Designer: Microsoft For the purists and the armor enthusiasts, the standard Xbox Wireless Controller gets a demonic makeover. Inspired by the Doom Slayer’s iconic armor, the Xbox Wireless Controller – Doom: The Dark Ages Limited Edition features a striking matte green finish accented by silver 3D helmet spike designs. Orange details and insignias from Doom: The Dark Ages complete the look, while the ABXY buttons are replaced with symbols from the game’s Sentinel alphabet, adding an extra layer of authenticity. Beyond its menacing aesthetics, this controller functions just like a standard Xbox Wireless Controller, offering seamless compatibility with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows PCs (via Bluetooth or USB-C), and cloud gaming services. As a bloody good bonus, each purchase includes a DLC code for the Doom Slayer Executioner skin in Doom: The Dark Ages, letting you customize your in-game appearance. This limited edition controller is slated for release on April 30th and is priced at $79.99 USD or £74.99 GBP. For those who demand the very best in performance and customization, the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 is also receiving a Doom-inspired treatment. This premium controller boasts a more sinister red and black color scheme, with transparent red sections allowing you to glimpse the internal components. The iconic Doom Slayer’s insignia takes center stage, proudly displayed in the middle of the controller. As a Microsoft Store exclusive launching on April 25th, this Elite controller offers the same high-end features players have come to expect, including customizable thumbsticks, adjustable triggers, and a suite of button mapping options. While pricing details specific to this edition are still emerging, expect it to be in line with the standard Elite Series 2 controller. The Doom-themed love doesn’t stop at controllers. Xbox is also releasing a limited-edition Xbox Series X Console Wrap – Doom: The Dark Ages Limited Edition. This wrap allows you to emblazon your console with the mark of the Slayer, featuring artwork that complements the controller designs. This is available exclusively through the Microsoft Store for a limited time, priced at £49.99 GBP. Remember to remove the wrap before handling the console! For eager fans, pre-orders for both the standard and Elite Doom: The Dark Ages controllers, as well as the console wrap, are already live at various retailers, including the Microsoft Store and Amazon. With Doom: The Dark Ages set to launch on May 15th, these accessories are the perfect way to prepare for the demonic onslaught and showcase your Slayer pride.
