Do you prefer superhero spandex yellow or Adamantium silver? The choice is yours, bub.
Sony today announced special limited-edition bundles for Marvel’s Wolverine, launching next month, available in the two aforementioned colors and designs. The choice is clear to me, but which do you prefer?
“Battle Yellow” will be available for the PS5 Digital Edition (and separately as a console cover) as part of a $650 bundle, while the “Adamantium” silver color will only be available as console covers for the PS5 and PS5 Pro. The console covers go for $74.99, and the DualSense controllers clock in at $84.99, so either way, you’ll need to pay up if you want to show some love to everyone’s favorite, short, furry mutant.
Both designs were crafted by a Scottish graphic artist named Jock, who also helped create the game’s key art.
“I wanted to show Wolverine at his fiercest for Marvel’s Wolverine Limited Edition PS5 Console bundle and accessories, they said. “I still draw all my artwork traditionally, so the opportunity to marry cutting-edge hardware with the energy and looseness of hand-drawn ink is incredibly exciting. I’m stunned by how well the console and accessories captured the raw energy of the drawing, bringing Wolverine to life in a completely unique way. ”
Personally, I’m a big fan of the silver design, even if the yellow is more quintessentially Wolverine. It’s just so gaudy, and I’d hate how it would stick out in my room. My PS5 already has a silver console cover, though, so I think I’m all set.
The controllers are really clean, however. Simple, yet effective in getting the point across that it’s Wolverine-related with those claw marks on board. Even so, I prefer the sleek simplicity of the silver over the brightness of the yellow.
The console covers and Adamantium controller are available only through PlayStation Direct, but the yellow PS5 console bundle can be found “through select retailers” as well when they go live for pre-order on Aug. 19 at 10am local time.
Marvel’s Wolverine launches exclusively on PS5 on Sept. 15.
