During Sony's State of Play show yesterday, three new PS5 metallic color variants for the DualSense controller and console cover were announced.
The new color variants are part of the 'Deep Earth Collection' available starting later this year. Part of the new color collection is three new colors with a metallic finish, including Volcanic Red, alluring Cobalt Blue, and sleek Sterling Silver. Pre-orders for the new metallic color designs will start next month on October 4th for those in the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Austria, and Portugal. On November 3, Sony will release both the Volcanic Red and Cobalt Blue DualSense and console skin colors, while the new Sterling Silver variant will be released next year on January 26. Pre-orders will kick off on said date via the PlayStation Store and select retailers.
“While crafting this new collection of DualSense controller and PS5 console cover colors, we drew inspiration from the beautiful and powerful hues found in the depths of planet Earth", designer Satoshi Aoyagi explained on the PlayStation blog. "We elevated the colors by adding a metallic finish for a touch of sophistication.”
Designer Leo Cardoso added, "Volcanic Red boasts a rich blazing red tone. Cobalt Blue, on the other hand, presents a deep shade of blue with intriguing hints of purple. Lastly, Sterling Silver showcases a classic aesthetic with a subtle blue undertone.”
The Deep Earth DualSense controllers will sell for a recommended retail price (RRP) of $74.99 USD/¥9,980 (including tax)/€74.99/£64.99, while the Deep Earth PS5 console covers will be available for a recommended retail price (RRP) of $59.99 USD/¥7,980 (including tax)/€59.99/£49.99. Sony mentions that the actual launch date and availability for the accessories may vary by region.
It has to be said - these new color variants look pretty great and we can't wait to get our hands on the Sterling Silver variant. What's your favorite new color?
