Buried within the Marathon launch data dump at the moment, which Bungie rushed out early after it was by accident leaked over on Xbox, is the information that sci-fi shooter will arrive alongside the newest restricted version PlayStation 5 DualSense controller. And in contrast to lots of the latest ones we’ve gotten, this one truly appears actually good.
The Marathon-inspired restricted version DualSense controller is $85 and goes up for pre-order on January 29 10:00 a.m. native time at direct.ps.com. There’s additionally an accompanying Pulse Elite wi-fi headset that can go on sale on the similar time, although for a a lot heftier price ticket. That accent shall be $170. I’ve by no means liked the look of the Pulse headset and, frankly, the Marathon aesthetic isn’t altering that.
What I really like most concerning the Marathon DualSense, apart from the commonly delicate design and clear look, is how neatly the typography and icons mesh with the underlying sensibility of the controller. In different phrases, its a really pure match not like another latest restricted version DualSenses. The Death Stranding 2 one wasn’t dangerous however felt fairly bland and I didn’t dig the enormous bronze block over the contact pad. The Ghost of Yotei one, in the meantime, seemed like somebody threw up gold mud on it.
Bonus factors to the Marathon controller for preserving the one branded textual content, the secret, hidden in neon on the underside of the controller. Is that this controller even higher wanting than the Concord one? I believe so. Will or not it’s as uncommon as that one? In all probability! Hopefully, it’s not as a result of Marathon finally ends up flopping as nicely.
