A New Adventure Awaits: Sony’s Astro Bot Game and Controller Launch

Sony is gearing up for the launch of a new ⁣adventure game reminiscent of classic Mario experiences, featuring its endearing Astro Bot mascot. The highly anticipated title is set to make its debut on⁤ September 6,‌ promising‍ a delightful gaming experience. In addition ​to the game, Sony‌ has unveiled a specially themed DualSense controller that⁢ celebrates‍ this exciting release, and it‌ truly ⁤captures the character’s charm.

A Charming Tribute to⁣ Astro Bot

The Limited Edition DualSense wireless controller pays tribute to the iconic little robot who first appeared in a series of VR mini-games back in 2013. Sony describes this controller as “a true work of art,” and⁤ it’s easy to see⁤ why with its vibrant design. Notably, there are decorative ‍robotic eyes placed right on the touchpad,⁢ while the ⁤grips and buttons ‍showcase Astro Bot’s trademark blue color.

This​ upcoming 3D platformer leverages multiple features of the DualSense controller ‍for an immersive experience. The developers‌ have significantly⁣ enhanced haptic feedback, allowing players⁣ to feel⁢ an array of textures through their controllers.

Special Treatments for Power-Ups

Sony assures that ⁣each power-up within the game receives unique attention regarding tactile feedback. One notable⁣ feature ⁢is called Dual Speeder—this transforms your controller into a motion-sensitive spacecraft!​ Such advancements will be available across all versions of dualsense​ controllers, not limited solely ⁣to this one featuring cheerful designs.

Availability and Pricing Details

This themed controller​ is priced at $80 and will​ be available on September 6—coinciding perfectly with the game’s launch date. Following ​our hands-on session with an early demo last June, we found ⁤ourselves thoroughly impressed by Astro Bot.
