In amongst all of the new game announcements, Microsoft also found time in its E3 2019 press conference to reveal the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2.

The new controller in Microsoft’s Elite series has been re-engineered from the inside out. It promises to be the most advanced controller in the world, with adjustable-tension thumbsticks, higher precision control, shorter hair trigger locks–three this time, as opposed to the previous controller’s two–a wrap around rubberized grip, and myriad ways to customize, complete with custom profiles that allow you to preset various configurations for specific games or genres.

The controller works on both Xbox One and PC, and a new detachable charging dock, internal rechargeable battery, and 40 hours of charge time ensure you’ll be able to play for longer.

No release date was given but you can pre-order the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller series 2 now at xbox.com.

Crossfire X, the latest instalment in Smilegate’s massively popular shooter series, is coming to Xbox One. The title will launch for Xbox in 2020. It’s announced as a “first to console” release for Xbox, so that suggests it’ll be released on other platforms at a later date.

A CG trailer for Crossfire X was shown at Microsoft’s Xbox E3 2019 briefing. You can check it out below. No gameplay has been shown as of yet, however.

Crossfire is a very big deal in parts of the world that are not the United States, with the franchise reaching more than 650 million players on PC.

At E3 2019, Microsoft debuted an upcoming indie game called 12 Minutes. It’s an intriguing looking game, as it’s psychological thriller that takes place completely from a minimalist top-down perspective.

12 Minutes tells the story of a man who is trapped in a time loop. The first gameplay alluded to this when you see him seated with his wife and starts talking about events that are about to happen with a mysterious man. It was pretty tense stuff, but don’t take out word for it; watch the gameplay trailer above.

Published by Annapurna Interactive, 12 Minutes is coming to the Xbox Store sometime in the future. In regards to the timeframe, no other details have been confirmed.
