Sony Introduces DualSense Edge, PS5’s Wireless Controller

Amid the Gamescom 2022 reveals, Sony dropped in to reveal some of its own news for those lucky enough to get a PS5. The company is currently working on making the DualSense Edge, a wireless PS5 controller that allows for a fair bit of customization.

According to the PlayStation Blog, the controller boasts software and hardware modifications for those seeking a more tailored experience. Apparently, the Edge will allow players remap the controller, deactivate button inputs, fine-tuning its stick sensitivity, and modifying the zone between the joystick knowing it’s in the game or not.

This isn’t going to be a thing you’ll have to redo at a later date if your friend wants to commandeer it with your permission — hopefully — for the weekend. Multiple controller profiles can be saved, what’s more it’s apparently pretty to change on the fly.

Outside of that, it also allows for changeable back buttons and stick caps, meaning you can find what works best for you and your comfortability while gaming on the PS5. You can also entirely replace the stick modules.

Unfortunately, we still have no idea what kind of damage the DualSense Edge will do to our wallets or when we can expect that damage done, but if we had to guess, it’ll probably be around the holiday or in the early months of 2023.

Ubisoft Confirms Gamescom 2022 Attendance

Gamescom 2022, Ubisoft attending

Ubisoft has confirmed on Twitter that they will be attending Gamescom 2022 this August. It’s unclear what exactly they’ll have to show at this time.

This means Ubisoft will be among the 250 big companies to be part of the hybrid event. Other developers confirmed to be part of Gamescom 2022 include THQ Nordic, Koch Media, and Bandai Namco. Though, we’re sure many more will poke their heads out in due time.

Around this time a year, the Assassin’s Creed developer will usually hold a showcase to coincide with E3, which has been cancelled full stop this year. It’s hard to say whether they’re going to host an event or not. Last year, they postponed it to July, so there’s that possibility.

It’s hard to pinpoint what they’re going to do for the event. As much as revealing the next Assassin’s Creed game seems like a net-positive for the company, it’s been confirmed already that they’re looking to September for that. As for Skull & Bones, they’re supposedly looking to re-reveal the game complete with all the bells and whistles sometime early next month. Perhaps a secondary trailer could be in order, but that’s to be determined.

Gamescom 2022 will occur from August 24 through the 28.
