Helldivers 2 has quickly emerged as one of the standout games of 2024, and to mark its success, a new Limited Edition DualSense Controller has been announced, perfect for fans who want to celebrate the game’s vibrant universe. Priced at $85, this special controller will be available starting February 6, 2025, with limited preorders opening on December 20 at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET, exclusively through PlayStation Direct.
The controller features unique designs that pay homage to the game, including military symbols from Super-Earth, realistic wear and tear effects, helpful button prompts, and a thought-provoking reminder on the touchpad emphasizing the game’s strategic nature: “death is just one badly positioned stratagem away.”
Helldivers 2 itself has captivated players with its engaging blend of action and satire, making it a top co-op experience this year. For those eager to dive into the game, several retailers are offering it at discounted prices—currently $30 for PS5, down from $40, and even cheaper for PC, with Steam keys available for $28. For dedicated fans, the Helldivers 2: Super Citizen Edition, which includes additional downloadable content, can be purchased for $42 instead of its initial $60 price.
The DualSense controller is acknowledged as one of Sony’s finest offerings, known for its impressive haptic feedback and adaptive triggers that elevate gaming immersion. While it works wirelessly with PS5, PS4, and PC, players will need a USB-C connection on PC to fully utilize its advanced features. However, the experience it delivers is well worth the effort.
Due to its limited-edition nature, the Helldivers 2 DualSense controller is expected to sell out quickly, drawing parallels to the previous popularity of other limited releases, such as the Astro Bot controller, which has become a coveted item among collectors. Although the holiday deals on DualSense controllers have concluded, significant savings remain available for the PlayStation VR 2 Horizon Call of the Mountain bundle, PS5 Slim console bundles, and various PS5-exclusive games.
The upcoming Helldivers 2 controller release represents an exciting opportunity for fans to enhance their gaming experience while celebrating one of 2024’s top titles. Whether you are a gamer or a collector, this limited-edition controller promises to be a worthy addition to your setup.
