Sony Interactive Entertainment has confirmed the DualSense wireless controller – Genshin Impact limited edition, a themed PS5 accessory developed alongside HoYoverse. The announcement arrives as Genshin Impact prepares to launch Version Luna III on PlayStation 5, which introduces the character Durin and advances the story in the region of Nod-Krai. The collaboration brings the game’s core iconography to a custom DualSense design intended to align with the expanding narrative and ongoing updates to the title.
Design influenced by Teyvat’s central characters
The limited edition model features a white, gold, and green design decorated with symbols tied to Genshin Impact’s lore. Emblems referencing the Traveler twins Aether and Lumine are incorporated into the layout, along with imagery associated with Paimon. Sony notes that the detailing draws from the fantasy themes of Teyvat while maintaining the familiar structure of the standard DualSense controller. HoYoverse leadership described the project as a reflection of the game’s long-standing connection with its community and the shared experiences formed throughout its ongoing content updates.
