Apple loves to shroud its upcoming products and updates in mystery, so the above photo is not exactly the long rumored gaming joypad, but it's here for a purpose. Pocket Gamer reports that Apple will release its very own game controller!

Rumor has it that Apple chatted up with various developers during the Game Developers Conference about the controller, claiming that it will support a plethora of games during its launch. Multiple sources confirmed the developer conversations to Pocket Gamer.

As for the formal announcement, that revelation will reportedly take place at Apple's annual April press gathering.

Could Apple's rumored controller announcement overshadow the news of the Game Pad for the Galaxy S4, or does this supposed joypad have larger goals in mind?

As Fox Mulder said, "the truth is out there." We may just have to wait until April.
