Update: The PlayStation 5 DualSense Controller – The Last of Us Limited Edition is now available for pre-order at Target.
While Head of Creative Neil Druckmann might have just said we might not ever see The Last of Us III – I’ll believe it when I don’t see it – PlayStation has now just revealed the first-look at the brand new DualSense wireless controller – The Last of Us Limited Edition. Scope it out down below in the reveal trailer alongside pre-order details.
New Last of Us Limited Edition DualSense wireless controller surfaces
Sony says the new special edition controller is specifically designed to commemorate the beloved franchise and was created in close collaboration with the creative team at Naughty Dog.
Featuring a “glossy trophy icons printed across the surface that call back to key moments, characters, and events” from both mainline games in the series, here’s what Head of Studio and Head of Creative Neil Druckmann and Graphic Designer Megan Mehran had to say about it:
We were excited by the chance to memorialize The Last of Us franchise in a controller that fans and our own team would love. We wanted to ensure that both installments of The Last of Us are represented, via trophy icons printed in black gloss across the controller body. Among the trophies, three particular images will immediately stand out for TLOU fans: The firefly, moth, and wolf. Players will recognize the Fireflies’ iconic spray-painted logo that originated in Part I, while the moth and wolf represent the intertwining lives and duality between Ellie and Abby in Part II.
And here are some official images of the two-tone black and white Last of Us PS5 gamepad:
The DualSense wireless controller – The Last of Us Limited Edition will be available in “limited quantities” with an $84.99 MSRP. Pre-orders are set to go live starting on March 14, 2025 at 10 a.m. (local time) over at direct.playstation.com, but it sounds like participating retailers will also being going live on that day as well. It will actually begin shipping on April 10, 2025.
