The next limited edition DualSense controller will be inspired by Fortnite. Last night during the State of Play livestream, the DualSense Wireless Controller was revealed – Fortnite The Limited Edition will be available for pre-order within two weeks.
It’s a striking blue color, almost indistinguishable from the existing Starlight Blue edition, which is adorned with a series of graffiti-inspired decals. Some of the largest are a graffiti-style Fortnite logo, accompanied by the text “Where we droppin’?” on the controller’s touchpad.
You can also see two small character illustrations based on popular Fortnite skins. One shows the anthropomorphic guppy Fishstick, while the other is of the humanoid banana Peely. Some other visible elements are the text “GG” and a small drawing of a victory crown.
It’s a decent limited edition, all things considered, but it doesn’t quite feel on the same level as, say, the Astro Bot Limited Edition DualSense, which cleverly integrates elements of the title character into almost every aspect of its design.
The controller will be available in strictly limited quantities and will cost $84.99 / £74.99, up from the $79.99 / £64.99 price of a standard DualSense after the controller’s recent price hike. It will be available to pre-order on October 3 via both PS Direct and select retailers.
I wouldn’t be surprised if stock of this limited edition is extremely hard to come by, given the huge popularity of Fortnite. Be sure to bookmark the relevant retailers for your region and be quick on pre-order day.
