PlayStation Australia and Team ASOBI are excited to announce that players can charge into Astro’s new supersized adventure along with the cool new DualSense wireless controller – Astro Bot Limited Edition – check out the full reveal trailer!
The controller’s design features Astro’s signature blue accents on the handles and buttons, carved-in, sci-fi lines as well as the trademark playful pair of eyes on the touchpad.
The DualSense wireless controller – Astro Bot Limited Edition will be available in limited quantities for $124.95 and will launch on September 6, day-in-date with the launch of the new Astro Bot game.
Starting Friday, 9 August at 10 am AEST you can pre-order the DualSense wireless controller – Astro Bot Limited Edition from select retailers.
The Astro Bot Playroom demo that launched with the PlayStation 5 is still one of the best ways to show the true nature of the DualSense controller and now with the full game and special edition controller, we couldn’t be more excited to see what they do.
With the DualSense wireless controller – Astro Bot Limited Edition you can feel the surfaces that Astro runs and slides on, from grass, sand, and metal to more squishy textures or water. That was already the case with Astro’s Playroom, but the team have increased the number of textures players can feel through the controller.
Next, the adaptive triggers combined with haptic feedback have been tied to Astro’s new powers. For example, when using Barkster, the bulldog Jetpack, you can feel the thruster ratting against your finger in synch with the animation, giving a very dynamic and immersive feeling. Every new power-up has been given that same special treatment so you will be able to experience various expressions through your fingers.
Also whether it’s stretching, pounding or pummeling hard surfaces, there’s many new types of impacts that can be experienced in Astro Bot.
And of course, the Dual Speeder, one of Astro’s most recurrent gadgets, allows him to fly into various planets. The Dual Speeder makes full use of motion control, adaptive triggers and haptic feedback.
Get ready to Pre-Order this very cool controller and the new game ready to experience a great fun platform adventure on your Sony PlayStation 5.
