Tencent shows off mock-up of its cloud gaming controller with interchangeable parts
Tencent has just wrapped up its annual conference, where it showed off a handful of new games heading to the mobile platform. Some of these reveals included Metal Slug Mobile, CrossFire HD, and Digimon: New Century. The most important announcement wasn't the set of games, but rather, the input device used to play said titles. Tencent has unveiled its new cloud gaming controller, revealing a mock-up of the concept, which features a gamepad that has a swappable face, letting you seamlessly switch between different types of layouts. One of the styles shown is a traditional, modern ABXY design with two flat circle pads, along with a round, X-shaped "d-pad", while the second option has a much more complex layout involving five circle pads, mimicking a type of layout frequently seen in mobiles games such as Diablo Immortal, Genshin Impact, or Tencent's own Honor of Kings. The controller will be a major part of the company's cloud gaming service, which will not only stream console games to players, but also mobile phone games. Since the gamepad will have modular parts, it helps it cater to both sides of the market in Tencent's homeland of China, which happens to have a major focus on mobile game experiences.
