PlayStation has officially released a trailer for some brand-new hardware, and it represents a real first.

While we're presumably more than halfway through the PlayStation 5's lifespan, there are still some surprises to be had before the console bows out and makes way for the PlayStation 6.

Announced during Sony's pre-Summer Game Fest State Of Play presentation, Project Defiant is the first ever arcade-style fight stick made by PlayStation.

Details on the new hardware are pretty thin on the ground right now. All we were shown was a seconds-long teaser showing off the controller, which looks to be a premium bit of kit for hardcore fighting game fans. It'll be compatible with PlayStation 5 and PC.

"Today, we are excited to unveil the first wireless fight stick designed by Sony Interactive Entertainment, codenamed Project Defiant" reads a post on the PlayStation blog.

"This sleek new controller will give players more flexibility to play their favorite fighting games, whether that is wirelessly with the innovative PlayStation Link technology that provides ultra-low latency, or through a wired connection on PS5 or PC."

Key features include ultra-low latency wireless connectivity, a sturdy design, and a stylish carry case to impress all your mates before you whup them at Street Fighter.

Project Defiant is set to launch in 2026, and the controller will get a proper name before then. Watch this space.
