To celebrate the 10th anniversary of "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt," Microsoft and CD Projekt Red have partnered to release two limited edition Xbox controllers. These special editions, a standard Xbox Wireless Controller and an Elite Series 2 Core, are now available exclusively at the Microsoft Store.
The standard "Xbox Wireless Controller – The Witcher 3 10th Anniversary Special Edition" is priced at $79.99. It features a striking black and gray color scheme with vibrant red accents. At its center, Geralt's iconic wolf emblem takes pride of place, while red claw marks adorn the grips, symbolizing the witcher's arduous journey. Adding to its unique design, the controller is also engraved with ancient Slavic runes, a direct nod to the rich lore of the game.
For those seeking a more premium experience, the "Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 Core – The Witcher 3 10th Anniversary Special Edition" is available for $169.99. This advanced controller maintains the aesthetic of the standard edition while offering enhanced features. Players will find adjustable-tension thumbsticks, shorter hair trigger locks, wraparound rubberized grips, and fully customizable button mapping. It also boasts a built-in rechargeable battery, providing up to 40 hours of gameplay on a single charge.
The design team at CD Projekt Red shared that the inspiration for these controllers came directly from the expansive world of "The Witcher 3." Their goal was to allow players to immerse themselves in the adventurous spirit of Geralt, even when they're not actively playing the game.
Given the limited nature of these special edition controllers, they are expected to sell out rapidly. Interested fans are encouraged to visit the Microsoft Store promptly to secure theirs.
