Gamers will soon have a brand-new Nintendo Switch 2 controller to get their hands on, after 8BitDo unveiled the upcoming Pro 3 Bluetooth Gamepad with a Tomb Raider-themed design. The new Nintendo Switch 2 controller has been developed to celebrate Tomb Raider's 30th anniversary, marking the occasion in style.
8BitDo is a leading manufacturer of gaming accessories and controllers for all platforms. Its impressive assortment of products has led to a bunch of official collaborations over the years, offering something for gamers no matter where they play. Later this month, 8BitDo is also releasing a new Xbox Ultimate 3 controller, showing the variety in its offerings.
While 2027 was shaping up to be the biggest year in Tomb Raider history, an announcement about new game Catalyst makes it a bit less special.
8BitDo has officially revealed its new Nintendo Switch 2 Pro 3 Bluetooth controller, named the Tomb Raider 30th Anniversary Edition. The controller is inspired by the first game in the Tomb Raider series, with a design featuring elements of the ancient City of Vilcabamba and the ruins of the Lost Valley.
The 8BitDo Pro 3 Bluetooth Gamepad is compatible with Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PC, SteamOS, Android, and Apple, making it versatile and not limited to one platform. Pre-orders for the new Nintendo Switch 2 controller are available now, and it's set to release very soon on October 24, 2026 - exactly 30 years to the day after the original Tomb Raider game was released on the Sega Saturn in Europe.
