If there’s one thing we never expected, it’s for Sony to put eggs in Astro Bot’s basket. But here we are. They have announced a full Astro Bot game, which will be released on September 6th, and the first impressions of it are excellent. And it’s no wonder, because all of Team Asobi’s games and Astro Bot games so far have been excellent. But it seems that Sony has also decided to push the idea of turning this cute character into their mascot.
Sony Interactive Entertainment has just announced a limited edition of the Dual Sense, the PlayStation 5 controller, featuring Astro Bot. With the same colors as the character, including a typical blue accent on the buttons, they have included eyes imitating Astro Bot’s on the touchpad. A lovely detail that gives it a lot of personality and shows the care they have put into it.
This controller is now available for pre-order and will be officially released on August 9th. Its official price is €79.99 and can be purchased on the official Sony website, as well as other affiliated stores. It is the perfect accessory for any PlayStation lover. Or for anyone eagerly awaiting that near, yet so far, September 6th.
