- Backbone has revealed a limited edition Death Stranding 2: On the beach controller
- It 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’re disappointed simple enough Death Stranding 2 DualSense wireless controller that launched earlier this year, then the maker of one of the best mobile controllers might have a compelling alternative.
Backbone has just introduced a new limited edition version of its popular gaming-inspired Backbone One mobile controller. Scheduled for release on November 6, it is made in collaboration with developer Kojima Productions and is limited to just 1,350 units.
It features a distinctive translucent blue and yellow color scheme, complete with special blue triggers and buttons. It comes packaged with a special individually numbered case to help keep it safe while traveling and 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 as 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, selling for a whopping $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 substantially more than the $84.99/£74.99 DualSense.
Still, it has a sleek design and since it’s strictly available in such limited quantities, I suspect it will sell out quickly.
