Is Sony releasing a new DualSense V2?

Leak says so

Published

on

The DualSense was a revelation for console gaming. The PlayStation 5’s controller vastly improved on its predecessor, offering a much more natural shape for a human grip. However, outside of the more premium Edge, the controller hasn’t received much updating. Is it time for an upgrade? A new leak says so.

Recently, Best Buy Canada posted a store page for a “PlayStation 5 V2 DualSense Wireless Controller.” The key here is the “V2.” Sony currently does not offer a V2 version of the current DualSense controller, making this a pretty big leak.

Only a short time after posting the page, Best Buy already took the page down. However, if you saw it in the wild, you might not have noticed anything different. The depicted controller looked exactly like a regular DualSense. It even had the same price. It does differ in one aspect, though: battery life.

According to the listing, the newer controller can last up to 12 hours on a single charge. The current iteration of the controller can only last between eight to nine hours. A three-hour upgrade is substantial, especially going by the same price tag.

Sony has not confirmed any news about an upcoming controller, though. As strong as the leak is, it’s hard to predict the coming of a V2 controller anytime soon.

Assassin's Creed Mirage

Assassin’s Creed Mirage will be launching on June 6, 2024, on the App Store for iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and iPad Air and iPad Pro with M1 chip or later.

The game first launched on last generation and current generation consoles as well as PC back in October 2023. It will be the first console title of the series for players to enjoy natively on mobile devices.

Players can experience the complete narrative-driven action adventure of Assassin’s Creed Mirage on mobile. In this game, they will be exploring 9th century Baghdad as Basim, a young thief who transforms into a Master Assassin.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage will be free to download and play for 90 minutes. The full version supports Universal Purchase and can be unlocked with a single in-app purchase, so players can enjoy the game on both iPhone and iPad. Pre-orders are now available here.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage

Assassin’s Creed Mirage spins a tale centered around an already established character, rather than a blank slate like Valhalla’s Eivor. It follows Basim Ibn Ishaq, a character introduced in Valhalla. Taking place before the events of the previous game, Mirage has the assassin root out the Order in 9th-century Baghdad, a setting familiar to those who played the original title in 2007.
