To celebrate the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine movie, Microsoft unveiled a cheeky, Wolverine-themed Xbox controller. This unique collectible is up for grabs via a giveaway, sparking excitement among fans.
Wolverine's Custom Xbox Controller: Adamantium-Inspired Design
Following the Deadpool-themed console and controller release, Xbox continues its anatomically-inspired trend with a controller featuring Wolverine's famously rugged physique.
Xbox announced on their blog, "We heard you! In anticipation of Marvel Studios’ Deadpool & Wolverine, hitting theaters July 26th, and following the Deadpool controller, fans clamored for Logan's own Adamantium-enhanced posterior (on a controller, of course)." The custom controller is a direct response to fan demand.
Unlike the Deadpool set, this controller stands alone. It boasts a striking yellow and blue color scheme, echoing Wolverine's classic suit. The magnetic, removable back panel, mirroring Wolverine's adamantium-coated backside, is a key feature. Interestingly, Xbox suggests the possibility of swapping back panels between the Deadpool and Wolverine controllers.
The controller boasts a "firm, yet surprisingly comfortable grip," according to Xbox.
