We're getting a DOOM Xbox Elite Controller and Xbox Series X console wrap to celebrate 'The Dark Ages' (Confirmed!) (2025)

Microsoft is going big for DOOM: The Dark Ages, and it seems we're getting the custom controller treatment.

DOOM: The Dark Ages is the latest instalment of the legendary franchise, set to launch on May 15, 2025. The game will drop into Xbox Game Pass, and launch at retail across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5, taking the Doom Slayer's story into the medieval past.

I went hands-on with DOOM: The Dark Ages a short while ago, and found it to be absolutely fantastic. The only thing that could make it better would be a sexy DOOM-styled Xbox controller and Xbox Series X console wrap to go with it. Oh, and what's that? That's exactly what we're getting.

Reliable gaming tipster @billbil_kun revealed that DOOM: The Dark Ages is getting a limited edition Xbox Elite Controller Series 2, as well as an Xbox Series X console wrap this morning. Microsoft tends to drop custom controllers and wraps for its bigger game releases, with Starfield getting the limited edition accessory treatment previously. Now, Microsoft has confirmed it on their blog.

The Xbox Wireless Controller – DOOM: The Dark Ages Limited Edition is available now for $79.99 at the Microsoft Store "for a limited time only."

There's also a full Xbox Elite Controller Series 2 – DOOM: The Dark Ages Limited Edition controller, up for pre-order ahead of a April 25 launch, for $199.99.

Finally, the Xbox Series X Wrap – DOOM: The Dark Ages Limited Edition is available now for $54.99 USD ERP.

All of the products come with a very sexy looking in-game cosmetic skin for the Doom Slayer, although you won't be able to see it very often given that the game is 95% played in first person ... but hey! You'll look extra rad in cutscenes.

Funnily enough, another DOOM-style controller likely already "leaked" via Xbox itself, atop Xbox lead Phil Spencer's infamous office shelf. XboxEra pointed out previously that, during a recent NBC report from Xbox HQ, a mysteriously DOOM-looking controller made its debut in the background of some of the shots during interviews with Phil Spencer.

We speculated previously that the new accessories might be revealed at a rumored upcoming Xbox mini event. Indeed, Microsoft is rumored to be holding some sort of mini-event this month, in part to "shadow drop" Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion remake, which leaked heavily over the past couple of years. At least now we know the DOOM: The Dark Ages Xbox accessories likely won't be part of that unconfirmed event!
