God of War Ragnarök is nearly here, and PlayStation is celebrating the highly anticipated launch with a brand new dualsense controller.

The PS5’s dualsense controller is our favourite accessory for the console, and this edition is the first released by the gaming giant to be tied in to a particular game, having previously released a range of different coloured controllers for the PlayStation 5 console.

Unlike the other controllers on offer, the Ragnarök edition features a two-tone colourway, as well as a logo featuring a bear and wolf on the touchpad, representing the game’s two main characters, Kratos and his son Atreus.

The game is being released on 9 November 2022 alongside the new controller and while pre-orders for the game have been live for a while, pre-orders for the new controller are now live.

To find out where to buy Sony’s latest limited-edition dualsense controller and how much it will cost, keep reading the rest of this article.

PS5 dualsense controller – ‘God of War Ragnarök’ edition: £64.99, Game.co.uk – available 9 November 2022

(PlayStation)

The God of War Ragnarök edition of the dualsense controller has all the same features of the version that comes bundled with the console, namely haptic vibration functionality as well as adaptive triggers that can increase and release tension, depending on the player’s actions. As one of the biggest PlayStation exclusives to come out this year, expect Ragnarök to make excellent use of the hardware’s features with bowstring pulls and Leviathan axe throws.

In our review of the dualsense controller, our writer said: “Besides looking and feeling good, it also has some useful features, such as haptic feedback, which is a form of far superior vibration, and a set of trigger buttons that are much more responsive and tactile than previous PlayStation controllers. It’s the natural next step for a PlayStation controller and it’s arguably the best thing about the console.”

There is a product listing at Game as well as the PlayStation store page, but if they are made available at other retailers, we’ll be sure to keep you updated.
