Xbox Gears of War E-Day controllers and 8BitDo dock announced
Get ready to sharpen your loadouts, gamers, because Microsoft has just dropped some seriously stylish hardware for the upcoming entry in the Gears of War series. The announcement includes brand new Gears of War: E-Day Xbox Wireless Controllers and a specially licensed charging dock, setting the stage for some serious accessory upgrades.
The limited edition controller immediately draws attention with its striking design. These controllers feature a 3D-moulded, laser-etched exterior that subtly reveals the iconic Crimson Omen logo underneath. The aesthetic is bold and sharp, featuring blacked-out ABXY buttons, a transparent red X button, matching red triggers, and a clear D-pad, all capped off by a dark silver metallic COG tag on the battery door.
For those who appreciate personalization, the experience doesn’t end there. Players can dive into Xbox Design Lab to customize their E-Day controller using artwork from heavy metal illustrator Luke Preece, featuring a skull atop crossed Lancers. Customization options range from metallic triggers and rubberised grips to personalized engravings, letting you tailor the controller exactly to your taste.
Complementing these unique controllers is the 8BitDo Ultimate Charging Dock for Xbox Controllers – Gears of War: E-Day. This dock ensures that power meets precision, offering compatibility with Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One controllers. It incorporates an 8BitDo rechargeable battery pack, magnetic alignment for perfect placement, drop-and-charge functionality, and built-in safeguards against overcharging and overheating, ensuring your gear stays healthy and charged.
These exclusive accessories are available for preorder starting today. The Gears of War: E-Day Limited Edition Xbox Wireless Controller is priced at £84.99/$89.99/€89.99 on Xbox.com and through select retailers.
The excitement builds further as these new peripherals will make their public debut at the Xbox booth during Gamescom 2026, where attendees will have the chance to play the game’s campaign. It’s a perfect opportunity to experience the next installment with some seriously upgraded gear.
