Backbone announces limited edition Death Stranding controller

Next week, Death Stranding Director’s Cut will arrive on Apple’s latest iPhones, marking one of the first AAA titles to be ported to mobile platforms. In anticipation of its release, the mobile controller hardware maker Backbone has announced a limited edition Death Stranding themed USB-C controller.

Making the announcement on their website, mobile accessory maker Backbone said “For Backbone’s first-ever game collaboration, we’ve partnered with the legendary Kojima Productions to bring you the Backbone One – DEATH STRANDING Limited Edition controller.”

They continue, “This collaboration commemorates the release of DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR’S CUT for iOS. The Backbone One controller features custom product and packaging designs that blend the innovative design of the Backbone One with the artistic vision of Hideo Kojima and his award-winning title, DEATH STRANDING.”

In an interesting move, all purchases of the limited edition controller will come with a free copy of Death Stranding for iOS (which will cost $39.99 at launch – though is $19.99 currently). The Backbone One is one of the most popular mobile USB controllers and following the release of the PlayStation Edition, it is exciting to see more unique and themed controllers on their way.
