Sony PlayStation unveils new controller

Unveiling the upcoming controller, Sony PlayStation India said in a blog post, ‘Featuring a golden sheen and radiant barrel design, the controller frames James Bond’s iconic codename and weapon on the DualSense wireless controller touchpad.’

The same blog post also quotes 007 First Light Franchise Art Director Rasmus Poulsen saying, ‘With this 007 First Light controller, we saw an opportunity to welcome James Bond back to gaming after more than 13 years in a way that felt instantly iconic. The golden finish pays tribute to the elegance, legacy, and timeless style of the franchise, while the barrel-inspired detailing reflects the themes of the game and how it feels to play it, as well as being a nod to one of pop culture’s most recognisable visual signatures. Every element of the DualSense design was crafted as a celebration of Bond’s return, blending legacy and modernity to create a controller that feels unmistakably 007 from the moment you see it.’

Talking about the availability and price of the new DualSense wireless controller, pre-orders start as early as 17 April, 10 am US time. While the Indian time and date haven’t been mentioned in the blog post, it is expected to arrive in the country around the same time. We will get to know more in the days to come.
