The Witcher 3 Gamers Lose It Over Surprise New Trailer

It seems so long ago that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt blew us all away, that it's easy to forget just how brilliant a game it was. With almost no news from CD Projekt RED about the progress they're making on the next release, beyond the fact that a huge team is currently working on it as their main focus.

In lieu of that, though, it's nice to get some Witcher-themed goodies that make us feel just a little bit more like Geralt.

Over at Xbox Design Lab, the art wizards have been brewing up some new designs to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the game (god I feel old), including a brand new custom controller themed around The Witcher 3 game, and it's very, very cool to look at.

Sporting the iconic wolf symbol and some deep red highlights, it really is everything a fan could ever want. It's available as both a standard wireless Xbox controller and an Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2, so there are several price points at which you can get involved.

Fans were predictably pleased in the comments after a trailer for the new controller was shared over on Twitter/X.

"I told myself I’m saving again and that I can’t spend any more money… anyway I’m out $110, thanks!" one read.

Another was confused, as a very limited number of the controllers had been made available before, saying, "I thought these were limited? I had no reason to rush and buy it on release then."

In actuality, this re-arrival is designed to combat scalpers, with earlier versions of the controller going for hundreds of dollars online.

Several people recognised that fact and were grateful to the Design Labs team, saying, "Ah lovely when scalpers get kicked hard," and "Thank you for combating the scalper problem. Excellent idea."

Others took the opportunity to poke some good natured fun at the game itself, with one saying, "Crazy how y’all dropped this before fixing Yen’s AI in combat like she didn’t raise me better than that."

The controller is available to buy from the Xbox store in the USA, with prices starting at $94.98. No word yet from the team on exactly what the sales situation is going to be in the UK and EU, but it will likely be on sale in those regions soon, if previous Design Labs controller drops are anything to go by.
