The controller will be sold separately, alongside a second Gears-inspired controller based on protagonist JD Fenix’s grey and blue armor. Available September 13, both controllers are priced at $75 USD and will include a multiplayer emblem and three “Gear” packs. The JD Fenix controller will be sold exclusively at the Microsoft Store and GameStop. Announced last month during E3, the Xbox One S is 40 percent smaller than the original console, and features support for HDR, as well as 4K video and Blu-rays.

Gears of War 4 will be released October 11.
