Bungie’s new extraction shooter, Marathon is officially releasing on March 5th, and in honour of the occasion, PlayStation are launching a brand-new, limited edition controller. The controller will be available to pre-order from January 29th on the Playstation store. Let’s dig in and find out some more about the Marathon Limited Edition DualSense controller which launches later this month.
The design for the controller was formed in close collaboration with the team over at Bungie and they had this to say about it:
“We were excited for the opportunity to commemorate Marathon’s launch with a limited edition design that would excite our fans and our team, and feel like a true part of the world we’re building, something that could exist naturally alongside other objects in the game and feel functional, grounded, and authentic to the universe of Marathon.
We set out to create a design that paid homage to the bold graphic design, vibrant color and visual art direction of the game and its industrial design, architecture and environmental surfaces and equipment. The result is a design that reflects the world’s balance of form and function, where clean lines, purposeful markings, and vivid accents come together to feel both futuristic and believable.”
The controller will cost $84.99/£74.99 and pre-orders will open at 10am local time on January 29th. You will be able to order direct from PlayStation or from participating retailers.
