Sony quietly announces new PS5 hardware, and I need it

The controller will sell for $84.99 or £74.99 and will include all the standard features for the DualSense, this seems to be a simple cosmetic change for thePlayStation 5controller.

PlayStation is currently celebrating its 30th year making consoles and games.

I say simple cosmetic change, but really, this is a tasty looking revamp from the standard white colourway.

With a black background colour, the accents appear in yellow and grey.

Designed with decals pulled directly fromHelldivers II, the appearance is that of some tech to be found in the game.

Then, there’s the little skull in the middle of the touchpad, which is trimmed with more yellow and grey.

This announcement comes hot on the heels of the game receiving its first major expansion, ‘Omen of Tyranny’, which introduces a new faction and some cityscapes to fight through.

Omen of Tyranny’s new enemy, The Voteless, are zombies who want nothing more than to tear your limbs off.

It’s great to see the game receiving updates and new expansions as fans began to cool onHelldivers IIafter it stormed out of the gate to rave reception.

Now, you’ll be able to drop in and tool up with a DualSense to match, and keep the flag flying for Super Earth.

I’ve not even played much ofHelldivers IIand I want this for my PS5, it’s such a swish design and taps into that archaic sci-fi future.
