Check Out This ‘Alien: Covenant’ PS4 Controller!
We’re all pretty stoked about Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant. The return of Xenomorphs to the Alien universe is something we can all agree upon is a welcome sight. You know what else is a welcome sight? Custom controllers for your Playstation 4.
The folks at XQGaming, who specialize in custom controller casings (like an NES motif for your PS4 and controllers, for example) have taken it upon themselves to create a custom DualShock 4 PS4 controller in a wicked send-up to Alien: Covenant, which they’ve posted progress shots on their Facebook page. According to the Netherlands-based company, “This kind of controller cost an upwards of € 1500, – and have 50+ hours work into them.”
The controllers themselves are still being created, but the company plans to post a video on their YouTube channel once the controllers are completed next month. In the meantime, we await Alien: Covenant, which hits theatres May 19th.

We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
