Exciting news for PlayStation fans—there’s a buzz about a new limited edition PS5 DualSense controller, set to hit the shelves sometime in 2024. According to reliable insider billbil-kun, Sony is gearing up to unveil a controller themed around Helldivers 2, following the recent releases of the Astro Bot and Fortnite editions.
### What We Know About the New PS5 DualSense Controller
Billbil-kun spilled the beans on Dealabs, hinting that unlike the Monster Hunter Wilds controller, which was only available in Asia, this Helldivers 2 DualSense is going to be up for grabs worldwide, though in limited numbers. Price-wise, you’re looking at the usual range for special edition controllers: $84.99 / €84.99 / £74.99.
While we’re still in the dark about what this controller will actually look like, there’s no image or specific launch date just yet. However, it’s expected to roll out sometime in 2024. With Helldivers 2 making such a splash earlier this year, it’s surprising that Sony didn’t release a themed controller alongside the game’s launch.
This leak followed closely on the heels of another bit of info from billbil-kun, who mentioned that Sony plans to release some PS5 accessories in a new color. The DualSense Edge controller, Pulse Elite wireless headset, and Pulse Explore earphones are all set to debut in black shortly, possibly in conjunction with PlayStation’s 30th anniversary.
It seems Sony has been busy planning behind the scenes, hinting at new products and anniversary celebrations rather than an event centered on upcoming games. Keep an eye out for more announcements!
