To celebrate the occasion of Chinese New Year, Microsoft is celebrating in style by releasing some exclusive new Xbox One controllers.

While it’s cool to know some new Xbox One controllers will be released, the bad news is that they will only be available exclusively in China. Still, the controllers look pretty cool if you manage to get one for yourself.

You can check out more details about the controllers via the press release information posted down below. Chinese New Year is celebrated on February 5th, 2019 and is the year of the Pig.

“To celebrate we’ve brought together Eastern culture and Western technology to launch a limited-edition series of controller skins for this Lunar New Year for fans across Greater China region. These new designs are inspired by China’s history of royalty, art and power, delivering a distinctive and prestigious look for the world’s most powerful consoles!
Our story is told through three distinct designs for Lunar New Year, inspired by the festive elements, happiness, and history of the season:”

	City Wall: Designed in the same colours as the rich red of the palace in the Forbidden City in Beijing, this design resembles the traditional architectural design of China’s most historic and magnificent buildings from ancient times, inspiring bold play by gamers who select this iconic design.
	Sacred Beasts: Long before Daenerys Targaryen emerged as the mother of dragons, for centuries Chinese legends told stories of dragons and lions, “Sacred Beasts” who were guardians of the Imperial family. With this controller design incorporating the lion – which guards the palace – inspiring gamers to initiate a strong and strategic defense in any gameplay attack.
	The Emperor: Rich golden yellows are the finest of colours for royalty in the East. The golden colours of the Emperor Controller design include traditional art that gives the player a look fit for royalty.
