Gaming enthusiasts and fans of Black Myth: Wukong can now grab the officially licensed themed controller from 8BitDo at a special discounted price. Amazon is offering the budget-friendly Black Myth: Wukong Edition Ultimate 2C Wireless Controller for $29.72, down from its regular price of $35. For those who prefer wired options, the same controller is available for just $21, reduced from $25.
While a $5 discount might seem modest, it represents a significant percentage off the already affordable controller. Given the typically steady pricing of these budget-friendly peripherals, this markdown is quite noteworthy for collectors and fans of the game.
Distinctive Design and Technical Features
The controller stands out primarily for its unique aesthetic appeal, featuring a translucent plastic shell adorned with visual elements drawn directly from the Black Myth: Wukong universe. The design incorporates flames and sigils tastefully arranged to create an eye-catching peripheral that serves as both a functional controller and a collectible item for fans.
Beyond its striking appearance, the controller offers solid technical specifications. The Ultimate 2C comes equipped with Hall Effect joysticks for precision input, a 1000Hz polling rate when using 2.4G wireless or wired connections for minimal input lag, two additional remappable bumpers for customization, and a turbo function that allows for rapid-fire inputs during intense gameplay moments.
The controller is compatible with PC and Android devices, making it versatile for different gaming setups.
How the 2C Compares to Premium Options
The Ultimate 2C represents the entry-level option in 8BitDo’s flagship controller lineup. The company recently introduced their premium Ultimate 2 and Ultimate 2 Bluetooth Controllers, which offer several upgrades over the 2C model.
These higher-end controllers retain the remappable shoulder buttons found on the 2C while adding back buttons from the original Ultimate controller. They also feature an upgrade from Hall Effect to TMR electromagnetic sticks for greater precision, introduce adjustable trigger locks, and include various other quality-of-life improvements for serious gamers.
Amazon currently offers discounts on these premium models as well. The Ultimate 2 for PC and Android is available for $50 (down from $60), while the Ultimate 2 Bluetooth for Switch and PC can be purchased for $63 (reduced from $70) with an additional coupon.
Other Black Myth: Wukong Deals
For those looking to expand their Black Myth: Wukong collection beyond controllers, several other deals are currently available. The PS5 physical edition of the game is on sale for $60, down from $65, and Steam keys for the PC version can be found for $52.79, reduced from the standard $60 price point.
Black Myth: Wukong has been praised for its elaborate boss battles, which showcase the game’s combat system at its best. While some reviewers note that sections between these encounters can occasionally feel less engaging, the satisfying combat mechanics and diverse boss fights have been highlighted as standout features that largely overcome any shortcomings.
