The first of these controllers is the special Xbox controller CD Projekt Red and Microsoft released for The Witcher 3. Naturally, it sports a special Witcher-inspired design. The controller was specifically released for the 10th anniversary of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt earlier this year in two forms: a $79.99 standard controller and a $169.99 Elite Series 2 Core controller. Both sold out very quickly, and both have never returned.
In addition to this, the special edition DOOM: The Dark Ages Xbox controller is also returning. Like the controller made for The Witcher 3, this was available both as a $79.99 standard controller and as a $169.99 Elite Series 2 Core controller. Or at least it was, because like The Witcher 3 controller, it sold out quickly and has not been back since.
This is all changing later this year when the controllers will be brought back. There is no date right now though, and it is unclear if both versions of each controller will return. The lack of details on the latter suggests it will be both though.
What has also not been specified is whether or not these will once again be limited edition releases or a permanent fixture in the Xbox controller catalog. It is probably the former, but we do not have much precedent to follow because it is not often Xbox brings backed limited edition controllers like this. In fact, this is the first time this generation it has done this.
Of course, as more information is provided, we will update the story accordingly. That said, for now, it appears this is all Microsoft is going to be saying about the matter.
