Accessories specialist PDP has revealed a custom controller for upcoming fighting title Mortal Kombat X.
The firm, which was previously behind the GameCube controller-like Fight Pads for Wii U, showed CNET’s Brian Tong (https://twitter.com/briantong/status/553261438714642432) the new peripheral.
The controller will be released for both PS4 and Xbox One, with additional support for PS3 and Xbox 360 via a switcher.
Emblazoned with the Mortal Kombat name and dragon logo, the pad drops both analog sticks in favour of a single D-Pad – the preferred mode of control for fighting fans.
The A,B, X and Y (Square, Circle, Triangle and X for PlayStation) face buttons, as well as the RB and LB (R1 and L1) triggers, are rearranged into a six-button layout – akin to that of a dedicated arcade stick – for faster access during battles.
The controller is expected to retail for between $35 and $50 in the US, meaning it should cost from £23 to £33 here in the UK.
