Are you ready to embark on an extraordinary gaming adventure? Xbox, in collaboration with Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment, has an exciting treat for all the gaming enthusiasts out there. In celebration of the release of 'Dune: Part Two' on March 1st, Xbox has created a series of immersive content that will transport you to the captivating world of Arrakis.

First up on the list of incredible offerings is the world's first floating Xbox controller. Picture this: an Xbox controller hovering gracefully above vast oceans of sand dunes, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. This innovative display is sure to capture the imagination of gamers and fans of the 'Dune' franchise alike.

But that's not all! Xbox has also designed a special edition Xbox Series S console and console holder inspired by the awe-inspiring world of 'Dune.' This beautifully crafted console will bring a touch of Arrakis into your gaming setup, immersing you even further into the extraordinary universe of this beloved franchise.

In addition, Xbox is shaking things up in the simulation genre. The popular aviation game, 'Microsoft Flight Simulator,' is venturing into uncharted territories as it takes players beyond Earth and onto the treacherous terrain of Arrakis. In the latest expansion, players will have the opportunity to take control of the Royal Atreides Ornithopter.

For those who are unfamiliar, an Ornithopter is a nimble aircraft resembling a helicopter, equipped with four oscillating wings. The Royal Atreides model, available in the expansion, is a high-performance variant known for its incredible acceleration, blazing speeds, and precise maneuverability. Pilots who are skilled enough to master its controls will be able to conquer the harsh environment of Arrakis.

To ensure that players are equipped with the necessary skills, the expansion includes three tutorials: take-off, landing, and freefall. Once you've mastered the basics, you can test your abilities in the six thrilling activities available in the package. These challenges include five time trials that will put your piloting skills to the test, as well as a daring rescue mission where you must save your flight instructor before a massive sandstorm engulfs him.

But wait, there's even more excitement in store! Xbox is bringing the virtual experience of piloting an Ornithopter to life with two life-size Ornithopter gaming simulators. Starting from February 16th at the London Microsoft Experience Center and February 26th at the New York Microsoft Experience Center, you can step into these immersive simulators and feel the adrenaline rush as you navigate the perilous skies of Arrakis firsthand.

So, whether you are a fan of the 'Dune' franchise, an aviation enthusiast, or simply craving a captivating gaming experience, Xbox has something incredible in store for you. Get ready to explore the captivating world of Arrakis with these exceptional offerings, as Xbox continues to innovate and take gaming to new heights.
