The new DOOM edition Xbox controllers are very tempting

DOOM: The Dark Ages is just weeks away from release and in the run-up, Microsoft has revealed a new set of special edition controllers. There are two new DOOM themed Xbox game pads hitting the market, and they both look fantastic. 

This is a Limited-Edition Collection, but unlike some other special edition gamepads from Xbox, like last year's Deadpool controller, you won't have to enter a sweepstakes to get hold of one. Both the standard DOOM Edition Xbox Wireless Controller and the Xbox Elite Series 2 DOOM Edition controller will be available to purchase until stocks run out.

The standard edition Doom controller will cost £74.99, with a green Doom Slayer Armour aesthetic, while the Elite Series 2 version will cost £199.99 and has a demonic red makeover. Both look great but honestly, the Doom Slayer armour on the cheaper controller looks so much more iconic in my opinion. If I were to buy one of them, it would be the cheaper green one.

Buying one of these limited-edition controllers will also net you an exclusive Doom Slayer Executioner skin for the upcoming game, Doom: The Dark Ages.

If you'd rather give your Xbox console a new look, there is also a DOOM: The Dark Ages Xbox Series X wrap available for £54.99.
