Microsoft Announces Special Edition Titanfall Xbox One Controller
Microsoft has revealed that alongside the launch of Titanfall, a special-edition controller based on the game will be available for purchase.
According to Titanfall developer Respawn Entertainment lead artist Joel Emslie, the goal behind the controller was, “to create a controller that feels as if it is a piece of military spec hardware transported from the universe of Titanfall and into players hands.” For more of Emslie's Titanfall work, you can read about his recent art show.

Our Take
It's more orange than I would have assumed a controller based on Titanfall would be. I know that's a weird criticism, but I would expect something more silver and mech-like.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
