class=\"post-summary__body\">\n<p>Xbox is celebrating the upcoming release of &#8216;Gears of War: E-Day&#8217; with two new limited edition controllers<\/p>\n<p>The lineup includes a textured emergence hole design and a customizable Design Lab option featuring Luke Preece&#8217;s art<\/p>\n<p>Both accessories will be showcased at Gamescom on August 25 ahead of their respective fall launches<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>Xbox has officially announced the launch of two new limited-edition controllers arriving alongside the highly anticipated console exclusive, <em>Gears of War: E-Day<\/em>. Designed to commemorate the return of the iconic franchise, the collection offers fans immersive hardware inspired by the game\u2019s gritty atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>Leading the announcement is a 3D-molded, laser-etched standard Xbox controller, which takes visual cues from the franchise\u2019s infamous emergence holes. The design features cracked asphalt textures, transparent red elements on the D-pad and face buttons, and matching red triggers. To complete the setup, an accompanying 8BitDo charging dock is also available, designed to power the peripheral during downtime.<\/p>\n<p>The second option is a specialized Xbox Design Lab gamepad, set to launch on September 30. This version features exclusive Lancer artwork by heavy metal illustrator Luke Preece, offering a sleek, graphic-forward aesthetic. While the Design Lab edition allows for further customization of triggers and buttons, it trades the 3D-molded asphalt texture of the standard version for a clean, bespoke canvas. Both controllers are scheduled to be displayed at Gamescom on August 25.\n<\/p>\n<p>The 3D-molded <em>Gears of War: E-Day<\/em> controller is available for pre-order now, with the Design Lab version following on September 30 and the game title launching October 6, 2026.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6769860\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Sony CEO Confirms PlayStation 6 Launch Date Remains Indefinitely Delayed\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-email-signup-wrapper impression-tracker\">\n<h3>We got you covered.

class=\"post-summary__body\">\n<p>Xbox is celebrating the upcoming release of &#8216;Gears of War: E-Day&#8217; with two new limited edition controllers<\/p>\n<p>The lineup includes a textured emergence hole design and a customizable Design Lab option featuring Luke Preece&#8217;s art<\/p>\n<p>Both accessories will be showcased at Gamescom on August 25 ahead of their respective fall launches<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>Xbox has officially announced the launch of two new limited-edition controllers arriving alongside the highly anticipated console exclusive, <em>Gears of War: E-Day<\/em>. Designed to commemorate the return of the iconic franchise, the collection offers fans immersive hardware inspired by the game\u2019s gritty atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>Leading the announcement is a 3D-molded, laser-etched standard Xbox controller, which takes visual cues from the franchise\u2019s infamous emergence holes. The design features cracked asphalt textures, transparent red elements on the D-pad and face buttons, and matching red triggers. To complete the setup, an accompanying 8BitDo charging dock is also available, designed to power the peripheral during downtime.<\/p>\n<p>The second option is a specialized Xbox Design Lab gamepad, set to launch on September 30. This version features exclusive Lancer artwork by heavy metal illustrator Luke Preece, offering a sleek, graphic-forward aesthetic. While the Design Lab edition allows for further customization of triggers and buttons, it trades the 3D-molded asphalt texture of the standard version for a clean, bespoke canvas. Both controllers are scheduled to be displayed at Gamescom on August 25.\n<\/p>\n<p>The 3D-molded <em>Gears of War: E-Day<\/em> controller is available for pre-order now, with the Design Lab version following on September 30 and the game title launching October 6, 2026.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6769860\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Sony CEO Confirms PlayStation 6 Launch Date Remains Indefinitely Delayed\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-email-signup-wrapper impression-tracker\">\n<h3>We got you covered.

emergence hole design and a customizable Design Lab option featuring Luke Preece&#8217;s art<\/p>\n<p>Both accessories will be showcased at Gamescom on August 25 ahead of their respective fall launches<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>Xbox has officially announced the launch of two new limited-edition controllers arriving alongside the highly anticipated console exclusive, <em>Gears of War: E-Day<\/em>. Designed to commemorate the return of the iconic franchise, the collection offers fans immersive hardware inspired by the game\u2019s gritty atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>Leading the announcement is a 3D-molded, laser-etched standard Xbox controller, which takes visual cues from the franchise\u2019s infamous emergence holes. The design features cracked asphalt textures, transparent red elements on the D-pad and face buttons, and matching red triggers. To complete the setup, an accompanying 8BitDo charging dock is also available, designed to power the peripheral during downtime.<\/p>\n<p>The second option is a specialized Xbox Design Lab gamepad, set to launch on September 30. This version features exclusive Lancer artwork by heavy metal illustrator Luke Preece, offering a sleek, graphic-forward aesthetic. While the Design Lab edition allows for further customization of triggers and buttons, it trades the 3D-molded asphalt texture of the standard version for a clean, bespoke canvas. Both controllers are scheduled to be displayed at Gamescom on August 25.\n<\/p>\n<p>The 3D-molded <em>Gears of War: E-Day<\/em> controller is available for pre-order now, with the Design Lab version following on September 30 and the game title launching October 6, 2026.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6769860\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Sony CEO Confirms PlayStation 6 Launch Date Remains Indefinitely Delayed\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-email-signup-wrapper impression-tracker\">\n<h3>We got you covered.
