After teasing it last month, Backbone has officially announced today that it has collaborated with Kojima Productions to create a new, limited edition controller inspired by Death Stranding: Director's Cut.
In a press release, Backbone revealed that the new controller will be available to purchase on January 30th at 9am PT / 12pm ET the same day that Death Stranding: Director's Cut releases on Apple devices. To make this even more of a collector's item, Backbone revealed that those who order this controller will also receive an iOS copy of Death Stranding: Director's Cut. As 505 Games confirmed yesterday, this version of Death Stranding is a universal purchase, meaning it will also work on iPads and Macs powered by an M-series chip.
Due to the iPhone 15 Pro series being the only iPhone capable of running Death Stranding: Director's Cut, the Backbone One Death Stranding controller will only be available for phones with a USB-C port, with the blog post confirming no Lightning variant of the device, will be created.
As you can see from the images above, the Death Stranding-themed controller's front features a yellow-ish orange transparent design on the grips, with the rear offering a solid yellowish orange. The inside of the controller features the Backbone and Kojima Productions logos, while the back reveals the Death Stranding logo when a phone is mounted.
This is not the first time Backbone has collaborated with a company. In 2022, the company partnered with PlayStation to make a white Backbone One controller inspired by the PS5's DualSense controller.
