As consumers wait for some new must-have games to arrive for the Xbox One, the largest Microsoft console-exclusive on the horizon is none other than Respawn Entertainment’s Titanfall. Helmed by many of the staff that created the Call of Duty franchise, this new shooter is set to bring a much needed change of pace to the incredibly crowded genre. The unique and highly publicized partnership between Microsoft an Electronic Arts that will keep the title off of PS4 and PS3 has now also spawned an official Titanfall controller.

The official gamepad is being made exclusively for the Xbox One, which means that Xbox 360 users won’t be able to use a variation of the design for their time spent in Titanfall. That said, Microsoft and Respawn’s art department have worked in unison on the the limited edition controller’s design, and the end result should delight fans of the actual game — providing they take the time to familiarize themselves with the content post-launch.

Joel Emslie, the lead artist at Respawn Entertainment even gave a little insight into the remote’s design.

“In a collaborative effort with the Xbox design team and the Respawn art department, our goal 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.”

This shiny new Xbox One controller is designed to match with the in-game C-101 carbine, something that the press release assures gamers is the quintessential weapon of “IMC titan pilots of the Frontier.” Everything from the graphics on the controller to the color of the finished product have been implemented into the finished design to ensure maximum authenticity.

Currently it’s unknown if Titanfall will support split-screen — a feature that would make the additional controller much more sensible and appealing — and the reveal of this new product doesn’t give gamers a clear idea of whether or not that option will exist in the final product. That said, those who’ve already put down money for the Collector’s Edition of Titanfall will assuredly find themselves tempted by the new controller, and they’ll be able to purchase it at retailers in time for Titanfall’s launch.

Titanfall will be launching on Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC on March 11, 2014.
