Naturally, it’s the design that’s the star of the show here, and Rasmus Poulsen, the franchise’s art director on 007 First Lightstates in a new PlayStation Blog post that “Every element of the DualSense design was crafted to celebrate the return of Bond, blending heritage and modernity to create a controller that feels undeniably 007 from the moment you see it.”
At the heart of this is the controller’s shiny gold finish which is punctuated and complemented by darker black features.
Look on it
The controller features the instantly recognizable 007 logo in the middle of the touchpad with strong lines radiating from it, across the pad. At the back of the cushion, among the sea of gold, the 007 First Light the name and slogan “Win the number” are present.
I think it looks very elegant and chic, and I just have to add it to my collection. I love limited edition PS5 hardware like this, and with 007 First Light being one of my most anticipated games of the year, this seems like the perfect way to celebrate it.
Further highlighting the design of the limited edition, Poulsen said that “the gold finish pays homage to the elegance, heritage and timeless style of the franchise, while the barrel-inspired details reflect the themes of the game and the feeling of playing it, while also being a nod to one of pop culture’s most recognizable visual signatures.”
To get your hands on what I think will be a very popular product, you’ll need to tune in to our live pre-order coverage happening at 10 a.m. ET and 10 a.m. local time everywhere else next Friday.
