Sony and Marvel are once again partnering up for a limited-edition PlayStation 5DualSense Wireless Controllerand console covers to build hype for the PS5-exclusive superhero game Wolverine, as the two companies did with the release of Spider-Man 2. This time, however, it’s going to be a bit more expensive to get these items than it was three years ago.
The Limited Edition Marvel’s Wolverine bundle and accessories showed up on the PlayStation Blog on Tuesday and will be available on Sept. 15, the same day as the release of the Wolverine game. The PS5 console, controller and console covers will all cost more than the current elevated price tag for PlayStation 5 hardware and accessoriesbut they’ll likely still sell out quickly.
The PS5 Digital Edition – Marvel’s Wolverine Battle Yellow Limited Edition Bundle comes in a distinctly Wolverine yellow. On the console itself is the face of the comic book hero and his iconic claw marks. The DualSense controller has the same color scheme and slashes, just inverted.
For those who want just a limited-edition controller, there will be one in battle yellow as well as the adamantium color, which is similar to silver.
PS5 console owners who don’t have the urge, or the funds, to drop almost $700 on a new console can buy the limited-edition console covers. Console covers are easy to install on a PS5 – they snap on and off the system. PS5 Slim owners will be limited to the battle yellow color, while PS5 Pro console owners have their pick between battle yellow and adamantium.
The prices for the console and accessories are:
- PlayStation 5 Digital Edition – Marvel’s Wolverine Battle Yellow Limited Edition Bundle: $650
- DualSense Wireless Controller – Marvel’s Wolverine Battle Yellow Limited Edition: $85
- DualSense Wireless Controller – Marvel’s Wolverine Adamantium Limited Edition: $85
- PlayStation 5 Console Covers – Battle Yellow Limited Edition: $75
- PlayStation 5 Pro Console Covers – Marvel’s Wolverine Battle Yellow Limited Edition: $75
- PlayStation 5 Pro Console Covers – Marvel’s Wolverine Adamantium Limited Edition: $75
Preorders for the limited-edition PS5, controllers and console covers will start on Aug. 19 at 10 a.m.local time, according to Sony. The limited-edition PS5 and battle yellow DualSense controller will be available at the Sony Direct Store and select retailers, which Sony has not yet detailed. The adamantium DualSense controller and console covers will only be available at the Sony Direct Store. These will likely sell out, and as with the Spider-Man 2 limited-edition items, there will be minimal restocks, if any.
Marvel’s Wolverine, developed by Insomniac Games, is a PS5 exclusive coming on Sept. 15 for $70.
