It might seem plain-looking to some, but there’s a deeper story behind the Hogwarts Legacy controller’s design, one that reflects the game’s essence.
The developer of Hogwarts Legacy Avalanche Software has revealed through a tweet that they have released a themed PS5 DualSense controller. The controller can be purchased directly from PlayStation in both the US and UK, according to the tweet. Due to PlayStation’s statement that this limited edition controller will only be available for a limited time, you might want to buy one quickly, since it is expected to be available only for a limited period of time.
Avalanche Software’s art director Jeff Bunker and the artist Vanessa Palmer have also provided quotes on the blog post that will be released in the coming weeks regarding Hogwarts Legacy. The controller design incorporates magical elements with Victorian decor, creating a unique blend that is unique to this game and time period. The sweeping magic and stars evoke Hogwarts in a way that is unique to the game.
“A simplistic, clean, and sophisticated aesthetic was the initial vision of Bunker and his team,” Bunker continues. “White, blue, and aqua, as well as a number of other colors, were all tried in the process; however, in the end, matte black was selected as the primary color for the controller. The choice of matte black contributed not only to the desired aesthetic but also to the dark themes that players will encounter in the game.”
Whether you are a huge Hogwarts Legacy fan or a collector of limited edition controllers, this DualSense controller is probably a top choice for you. It is very likely that if you get your hands on this controller and play Hogwarts Legacy on PS5, you are going to be blown away by the DualSense features that are exclusive to that game.
