Astro Bot Limited Edition DualSense Controller

Sony PlayStation have just released some exciting news on the PlayStation blog (https://blog.playstation.com/2024/07/29/first-look-astro-bot-limited-edition-dualsense-wireless-controller/). PlayStation and Team Asobi have confirmed the release of the Astro Bot Dual Sense controller, a groundbreaking addition to the PlayStation 5's accessory lineup. This innovative controller is not just a tool for gaming; it's a piece of art that embodies the playful spirit of the Astro Bot series. Designed with Astro's signature blue accents and featuring carved-in, sci-fi lines, it also sports the trademark playful pair of eyes on the touchpad, making it instantly recognizable.

The controller is more than just its looks; it's built to enhance the gaming experience with new levels of interactivity. The haptic feedback and adaptive triggers have been fine-tuned to provide a more immersive experience, allowing players to feel the textures Astro runs and slides on, from grass and sand to metal and squishy surfaces. This tactile sensation was first introduced in Astro's Playroom, but the new controller promises an even wider array of textures to explore through touch.

Moreover, the controller's adaptive triggers are tied closely to Astro's new powers. For instance, when using Barkster, the bulldog Jetpack, players will feel the thruster rattling against their fingers in sync with the animation, adding a dynamic layer to the gameplay. Each new power-up has received this special treatment, ensuring that every aspect of the game can be experienced through the fingertips.

The battle and impact sensations have also been enhanced. With a variety of new enemies and boss battles, the controller combines haptic feedback, motion control, and adaptive triggers to simulate different types of impacts. Whether it's stretching, pounding, or pummelling hard surfaces, players will feel every action in their hands, adding to the game's excitement and challenge.

The Astro Bot Dual Sense controller is not just a peripheral; it's a testament to the innovative spirit of Team Asobi, the studio behind the Astro Bot series. It is a limited-edition release and will be available on KOODOO.co.za. Pre-orders will go live on the 9^th of August at 10am local time. The limited-edition Astro bot DualSense will retail for R1799. Remember, it is a limited-edition controller, pre-order to avoid missing out! The controller will launch on September 6, coinciding with the release of the new Astro Bot game, promising a supersized space adventure for fans and newcomers alike.
