God of War-Themed controller launch
October 23rd will be a red-letter day for fans of Sony’s Norse mythology adventure, God of War. The new God of War-themed PS5 controller, inspired by Kratos himself, brings a touch of Spartan ferocity to every session. Styled with intricate patterns and a bold red-and-grey palette, this one looks like a collector’s dream.
Beyond aesthetics, the controller’s designed for comfort during long gaming marathons. Imagine swinging the Leviathan Axe or facing off against mythical beasts while your hands are gripping a controller that embodies the God of War spirit. While we don’t recommend tossing it during a particularly intense rage-quit moment, having this controller in your arsenal is a subtle yet thrilling way to feel more connected to one of most iconic characters of the gaming world.
Wolverine gameplay trailer
Insomniac’s Wolverine finally roared onto screens during the State of Play with a first full gameplay trailer that had fans on the edge of their seats. Expected to launch in fall 2026, the game promises a gritty, bloody take on the beloved mutant. From the trailer, the combat appears to be visceral and unrelenting, showing Logan’s character with precision.
Players can slash through enemies with Adamantium claws, use brutal finishing moves, and navigate an open-world environment filled with moral ambiguity. Unlike other superhero titles, this Wolverine doesn’t seem to be holding back, and players will love it. With Insomniac at the helm, expectations are high. We will get to know more as the game’s release date inches closer.
