God of War 20th Anniversary Limited Edition DualSense Wireless Controller

Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced a special limited-edition DualSense controller to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the God of War franchise, which first launched on March 22, 2005. Revealed during the September 24, 2025, State of Play broadcast, this controller pays homage to Kratos, the iconic Ghost of Sparta, and his enduring legacy across Greek and Norse mythologies.

Design Highlights

• Color Scheme: Features a light gray base (inspired by Kratos’ ashen skin) with bold red accents mimicking his signature omega tattoo on the right side.
• Details: The action buttons and D-pad include red markings for added flair. The back of the controller is engraved with “God of War 20th Anniversary” text.
• Overall Aesthetic: A subtle yet striking design that’s simple enough for everyday use but unmistakably tied to the series’ brutal, mythological roots. It retains all standard DualSense features, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a built-in microphone.

This controller joins other October 2025 limited-edition releases, such as those for Ghost of Yōtei and Astro Bot, but stands out for its franchise-specific tribute.
