With the highly anticipated release of Doom: The Dark Ages set for next month, Xbox has revealed two new themed controllers designed to honor the brutal and demonic style of the franchise. Among the new releases is a striking controller that incorporates spikes, blood details, and arcane markings, creating a truly hellish design.
A Visual Tribute to Doom Slayer
Slated for launch on May 15 across Xbox, PlayStation, and PC platforms, Doom: The Dark Ages serves as a prequel to the modern entries in the series. This upcoming first-person shooter follows the Doom Slayer’s relentless campaign against the infernal legions of Hell, featuring elements like colossal mechs and fire-breathing dragons. In celebration of the game’s arrival, Xbox introduced a limited-edition $80 controller inspired by the Doom Slayer’s armor.
The design showcases signature details such as splashes of blood and the Slayer’s emblem engraved into the right handle. Adding to the flair, the controller includes small 3D spikes surrounding the Xbox guide button. While these spikes aren’t sharp, they enhance the controller’s aggressive, battle-worn aesthetic.
Elite Version and Console Wrap Also Announced
In addition to the blood-spiked model, Xbox presented another Doom-themed controller—a variant of the Elite Series 2. This version features a darker and more menacing visual theme and is available for pre-order now at $200.
Xbox also introduced a new console wrap for the Series X that transforms the device into what could be described as a tribute to the Doom Slayer himself. Priced at $55, this wrap is currently exclusive to the Microsoft Store and serves as a centerpiece for fans looking to fully embrace the Doom universe.
The Perfect Way to Rip and Tear
These accessories arrive just in time for players gearing up to dive into Doom: The Dark Ages. With intense gameplay and demonic adversaries on the horizon, the blood-soaked controller and themed console wrap offer fans a chance to enhance their experience with gear that visually reflects the raw chaos of the game’s.
