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.
