- Backbone revealed a limited edition Death Stranding 2: On the Beach controller
- This is a special version of the Backbone One with a unique design and carrying case.
- It costs $159.99 and will be limited to just 1,350 units.
If you were disappointed by the rather sober side Death Stranding 2 DualSense wireless controller released earlier this year, so the maker of one of the best mobile controllers might have a compelling alternative.
Backbone has just revealed a new limited edition version of its popular Backbone One mobile controller inspired by the game. Scheduled for release on November 6, it’s made in collaboration with developer Kojima Productions and is limited to just 1,350 units.
It features a distinct translucent blue and yellow colorway, complemented by special blue triggers and buttons. It comes with a special, individually numbered case to help you keep it safe while traveling, as well as a commemorative tag.
This isn’t the first time Backbone has collaborated with Kojima Productions, having previously released a limited edition Backbone One based on the first game.
However, this new model stands out for the brand’s first limited edition collaboration with PlayStation, the publisher of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. The controller features DualSense-style button markings and is compatible with the PlayStation Remote Play app.
This special design doesn’t come cheap though, retailing for $159.99 (around £119.99) via the Backbone website, Best Buy Drops, or the Kojima Productions store. That’s $60 more than the standard Backbone One model and significantly more than the $84.99/£74.99 DualSense.
Still, it’s a neat design and given that it’s strictly available in such limited quantities, I suspect it will sell out quickly.
