Gamers and collectors now have the chance to secure a special edition controller inspired by the widely played RPG Honkai: Star Rail. 8BitDo has officially opened preorders for its Ultimate 2 Wireless Controller, designed around the enigmatic character Evernight, who is expected to join the game’s roster in the near future. This licensed peripheral works seamlessly with PC, Apple, and Android platforms, offering both style and functionality.
Priced at $70, the Evernight-themed controller comes in at a slight premium compared to the standard Ultimate 2 models. Those interested can expect delivery around mid-October, based on current retail listings. For enthusiasts looking for something even more exclusive, a Collector’s Bundle is also available. This enhanced package includes custom stick caps, a durable hard-shell carrying case, temporary tattoos, and a sparkling coaster featuring Evernight’s design.
This isn’t the first time 8BitDo has teamed up with major franchises to produce eye-catching hardware. Recent collaborations include a special Wuchang: Fallen Feathers edition, a Rare 40th Anniversary controller made in partnership with Microsoft, and earlier releases tied to Black Myth: Wukong and Genshin Impact. Each collaboration brings a unique aesthetic twist to 8BitDo’s reliable hardware lineup.
For Honkai: Star Rail devotees seeking a premium alternative, Hoyoverse offers its own Firefly Elite Controller. Packed with pro-level features, this model is only sold as part of a bundle that includes a charging dock and carrying case, though the $186 price tag reflects its high-end positioning. Audio fans haven’t been left out either, Moondrop’s noise-canceling wireless earbuds, modeled after the in-game character Robin, are currently discounted on Amazon, providing another way to immerse oneself in the world of Honkai: Star Rail.
