CRKD has unveiled a limited edition NEO S controller inspired by Linkin Park’s signature style, perfect for rhythm games and Fortnite Festival.
CRKD has announced the launch of its NEO S LINKIN PARK Edition controller. This special edition hardware, designed for use with Fortnite Festival and other rhythm-based games, is set to be a unique accessory for fans of the iconic nu-metal band.
Compatible with Nintendo Switch, PC, mobile devices, tablets and smart TVs, the versatile controller features artwork inspired by Linkin Park’s instruments in Fortnite Festival. The release coincides with the addition of two new Fortnite Festival jam tracks, including the band’s latest single, Up From The Bottom, from their upcoming deluxe edition album From Zero, due out on May 16, 2025.
The controller features a unique Festival Attachment that replicates the frets of a real guitar. This ergonomically designed attachment sits comfortably in the palm of the hand and features five action buttons that mimic guitar frets. This innovation promises to enhance the gameplay for rhythm game enthusiasts, potentially improving scores, reaction times and overall enjoyment.
The NEO S Linkin Park Edition isn’t limited to guitar play; it’s versatile enough to handle keytar, drum, mic and bass parts in Fortnite Festival. Even without the Festival Attachment, the controller functions seamlessly for all regular games, making it a multi-purpose gaming tool.
CRKD has incorporated cutting-edge technology into the NEO S, including Hall-effect thumbsticks to eliminate stick drift, a No Deadzone Mode, integrated motion controls and adjustable trigger sensitivity. The controller also boasts remappable back buttons, adjustable vibration and swappable stick tops, offering a high degree of customization.
In keeping with CRKD’s collector-focused approach, the NEO S LINKIN PARK Edition is compatible with the company’s ‘True Collection System.’ This free mobile app for iOS and Android allows users to register their product number and rarity ranking, adding a layer of exclusivity to the gaming experience.
The NEO S LINKIN PARK Edition is available for pre-order now, with shipping expected to begin in May 2025. Priced at $59.99 USD, €69.99 EUR, or £59.99 GBP, this controller represents a unique opportunity for gamers and LINKIN PARK fans alike to own a piece of gaming and music history.
For those eager to get their hands on this limited edition controller, pre-orders are now open on CRKD’s website and LINKIN PARK’s official store. As supplies are expected to be limited, fans are encouraged to act quickly to secure their piece of this unique gaming hardware.
