8BitDo’s officially licensed Wuchang: Fallen Feathers controller is on sale for a limited time at Amazon.

8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless Controller – Wuchang Edition

$50 (was $65)

The Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Edition of 8BitDo’s flagship Ultimate 2 Wireless Controller looks pretty awesome. It’s important to note that this version of the Ultimate 2 is a 2.4GHz wireless controller for PC and Mac. It also has Android support via Bluetooth. PS5 and Xbox Series X users will not be able to use this controller to play the game–unless you play it via remote play on your PC or Android device.

The Ultimate 2 launched earlier this year with an MSRP of $60, so this special-edition model only costs five bucks more than one of the standard variants.

We’ve tested the Ultimate 2 and the Ultimate 2 Bluetooth–which has Switch 2 and Switch support–and it’s better than many controllers that cost two or three times its price.

The Ultimate 2 has TMR electromagnetic analog sticks–smoother and more reliable than Hall Effect sensors–two remappable back buttons, two extra remappable bumpers, trigger locks, and RGB lighting rings.

It also has 6-axis motion controls, rumble, and a turbo button. With 8BitDo’s Ultimate Software V2, you can create three custom profiles to cycle through on the fly, adjust stick and trigger sensitivity, create dead zones, and more.

The Ultimate 2 comes with a matching charging dock. In this case, the character art continues from the controller to the dock, making it a pretty cool display piece.

This isn’t the first official collaboration with a big new release. Last year, 8BitDo collaborated with Game Science on a Black Myth: Wukong Ultimate 2C Controller. The 2C is 8BitDo’s budget PC controller, so this new collaboration is more exciting. That said, 8BitDo’s Wukong-themed controller is still worth checking out, especially since you get the wireless model for only $23.79 (was $35) and the wired edition for $12 right now.
