Microsoft appears to be preparing a limited-edition Xbox controller themed around Gears of War: E-Day. The controller, reportedly called the Storm King, was leaked by Dealabs writer billbil-kun, who has a strong track record with hardware leaks and claims an official announcement is expected within the next two weeks.
The controller features a cracked black-and-red design intended to resemble fractured volcanic rock. The left stick remains black, while the central section, including the D-Pad, Xbox button, View, Menu, and Share buttons, is finished in blood red and surrounded by the Crimson Omen, the iconic Gears of War logo featuring a cog and skull.
The right stick and X button also use the red finish, while the A, B, and Y buttons remain black, giving the controller a contrasting two-tone look. Billbil-kun described the design as “beautiful” and said it “blew us away,” although the final product will have to speak for itself once Microsoft officially reveals it.

Pricing is expected to be $89.99 in the U.S. and £84.99 in the U.K., matching the price of Microsoft’s Forza Horizon 6 limited-edition controller that launched in May. No release date has been confirmed, although the timing would line up with Gears of War: E-Day’s October launch window. An early-access open beta for the game is currently running through August 10 for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers, while a second open beta open to all players is scheduled for later this month.

Microsoft has not officially confirmed the controller, so the details should be treated as a leak until the company makes an announcement. That said, billbil-kun’s track record gives the report some credibility, and we may not have to wait long to find out whether the Storm King is real.
