Get ready for the most epic, earth-shattering, and potentially wallet-draining news in the gaming universe: PlayStation has announced a limited edition PS5 console bundle for Marvel’s Wolverine, because what every gamer needs is another overpriced, flashy console to add to their collection. Insomniac Games and Marvel Games have been toiling away, refining and developing the game, and now we get to see the fruits of their labor in the form of a sleek, adamantium-laced console that’s sure to make your friends green with envy.
The Hype Train Has Left the Station
As we inch closer to the game’s launch, the development team has been sharing juicy tidbits of information, including the casting of Spartacus actor Liam McIntyre as the face behind the iconic claws and mask of Logan/Wolverine. And, because one can never have too much of a good thing, PlayStation has unveiled a brand-new trailer showcasing the limited edition console and its accompanying accessories. The trailer is a marvel (pun intended) of marketing prowess, with dramatic music, slick visuals, and enough hype to power a small city.
The limited edition PS5 console, dubbed the Battle Yellow Limited Edition Bundle, will be available for pre-order starting August 19, with a price tag of $649.99. But wait, there’s more! The bundle will include a special edition DualSense wireless controller, featuring furious slashes from Wolverine’s claws, because who doesn’t want to channel their inner mutant while gaming? The controller will also be available for purchase separately, because why not?
Accessory Frenzy
In addition to the console bundle, PlayStation will be releasing a range of Marvel’s Wolverine-themed accessories, including console covers for both PS5 and PS5 Pro consoles, with and without disc drives. Because, you know, physical discs are still a thing… for now. The console covers will feature the same iconic yellow colorway as the bundle, as well as a sleek, silver adamantium steel colorway for those who want to showcase a different side of Wolverine. And, of course, there’s a special edition DualSense controller to match, because accessorizing is everything.
