Monster Hunter Wilds PS5 Controller and Faceplate Revealed

Sony has unveiled a new limited-edition Monster Hunter Wilds-themed PS5 controller and console cover ahead of the game’s February 28 launch. However, these eye-catching accessories appear to be exclusive to Japan.

Exclusive to Japan

Revealed via a blog post on PlayStation Japan’s website, limited quantities of the themed controller and faceplate are scheduled to go on sale the same day the game launches. The items are sold separately and will become available to preorder starting on October 30.

The Volcanic Red controller features Monster Hunter’s Forbidden Area Research Team logo on the touchpad, with a stylized floral print covering the handles. The black console cover is a bit more understated, with a small accent design on the lower right corner featuring the same logo in the same shade of red as the controller.

No Word on International Release

There’s no telling if or when Monster Hunter-loving PlayStation owners in other markets will be able to get their hands on the new DualSense controller and PS5 faceplate. However, for players who are truly desperate to get their hands on some functional Monster Hunter-themed merch, there’s always other options available.

Other Options Available

Sony also has an array of unique PS5 controllers for sale via its new Chroma collection. The first two Chroma collection controllers go on sale November 7. Additionally, players can also look forward to the release of Monster Hunter Wilds on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on February 28, 2024.
