Sony recently unveiled more information about their upcoming PlayStation 5 Access Controller, initially known as "Project Leonardo." This is the company's first adaptive controller designed keeping gamers with disabilities in mind to diminish the barriers they face in video gaming. Sony announced this much-awaited project earlier this year at CES.

The process of the controller's design and development over the last five years has been shared in a PlayStation blog post which included a detailed 9.5-minute video. This video explores the collaboration between Sony Interactive Entertainment's internal teams, accessibility groups, and consultants over the years to make this controller a reality.

The video also provides a glimpse into the evolving prototypes of the Access Controller, displaying its highly customizable nature. It also portrays some of the potential configurations that players could utilize in various situations, including when mounted on a wheelchair.

The blog post mentions Sony's efforts towards accessible packaging with user-friendly features for ease of unboxing the controller. The post also introduces a supplementary kit named "Logitech G Adaptive Gaming Kit for Access Controller". While this additional kit is not made by Sony, it can be attached to the Access Controller to enhance its functionality.

The Access Controller is all set to launch within the next two months. Furthermore, Sony has released its PS5 Slim, a more streamlined version of their original PS5 model.

In additional news, rumor mills are abuzz with the discussion regarding the new voice for the animated character, Mario. However, this speculation has been refuted by the actor's representative. Also, the new Dragon Ball series named Dragon Ball: Daima was confirmed at the New York Comic Con to be released in the fall of 2024. And for anime fans, Crunchyroll has announced the launch of a free 24-hour Anime Channel.
