The new Halo-branded Xbox Series X console was revealed during Gamescom’s Opening Night Live 2021 and will release on November 15 for $549.99 in celebration of Halo’s 20th anniversary.
In an Xbox Wire post following the announcement, Bree Adams, Global Product Marketing Manager at Microsoft gave fans more insight into the design of the console.
She wrote: “Celebrate Halo’s 20th anniversary and the upcoming launch of Halo Infinite with this custom designed, first-ever Limited Edition Xbox Series X.
“This design was inspired by the expansive Halo universe and is wrapped with dark metallic paneling accented by iridium gold.
“Above the armor there is a custom star pattern as seen from the surface of Zeta Halo that extends to the top of the console and onto the fan. Below the stars, the top vent is accented in Cortana-themed blue. To top it off, the console powers on and off with custom Halo-themed sounds.
“The controller included in the bundle features a matching design on the front, an iridium gold 20-year mark on the back, as well as side-and-back grips to accommodate all play styles.”
As well as the limited-edition Halo console, Microsoft also announced they are launching a ‘Halo Infinite’ limited edition Elite Series 2 controller.
The Elite controller also launches on November 15 and will cost $199.99.
Describing the Halo-themed Elite controller, Adams wrote: “Ready for any mission with a custom design inspired by the Master Chief’s iconic armor, this controller features a battle-worn, matte metallic green with an iridium gold D-pad and comes with an arsenal of swappable components and a custom carrying case emblazoned with the iconic UNSC insignia.
“For that Spartan-like precision, use the custom thumbstick tension adjustment tool that you can even wear like a dog-tag so you’re always ready to fine-tune your combat experience.
“When you’re not using your controller, keep it powered up on the laser-etched charging dock or with the custom charging cable.
“And, when Halo Infinite releases, don’t forget to show off this one-of-a-kind design in multiplayer sessions with an exclusive Halo Elite controller weapon charm only available with the purchase of the Halo Infinite Elite controller.”
