This week at CES, Microsoft, Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix announced the limited edition Tomb Raider Xbox 360 wireless controller and I was lucky enough to see and play with one.
Developed in collaboration with artists at Crystal Dynamics, the design of the controller features a two-layer colour finish with laser etching to create a realistic and tactile worn appearance. It’s inspired by Lara’s iconic climbing axe and the tourniquets that result from the adventure in her intense origin story, as told in this latest title.
The controller also features a customisable D-pad that switches from a “plus” design to a “disc” pattern for better control, and a wireless range of up to 30-feet that allows for more freedom in your home environment as you explore and play the game.
In addition, those who purchase the Xbox 360 TOMB RAIDER Limited Edition Wireless Controller, available exclusively at GAME in the UK, will receive a download token for an Xbox 360 exclusive playable character known as the devious Scavenger Archer. The controller will be available timed to the launch of the game worldwide and is priced at £39.99 ERP.
I really liked using the controller – but more on that soon!
