ROCKSTAR ENERGY & CAPCOM PRESENT: ARTEMAS
NRG + FULL SQUAD GAMING
Last Friday, NRG collaborated with our longtime partner Rockstar Energy and iconic video game publisher Capcom to host a launch party for the new Monster Hunter Wilds game, releasing later this month! The NRG Spectrum Castle was at maximum capacity, hosting over 1000 attendees, including a who's who of LA’s biggest gaming content creators and influencers, including the revitalized NRG Valorant roster! Our premium immersive experience featured dynamic atmosphere changes in the castle, early access for fans to play the new Monster Hunter, an unbelievable food menu created by influencer chef Ryan Can’t Cook, free signature Rockstar-infused drinks, and, to top it all off, an electric performance from musical guest Artemas.
Once again, NRG showcased our specialty of using unrestrained imagination to create elaborate experiential events that bring unforgettable branded experiences to capacity crowds in person, alongside creating digital media content strategies that generate millions of impressions online—50 million impressions and counting for the night, to be more accurate! This was the most high-profile event that we have ever put together and just a little taste of what we are capable of… The biggest question coming out of Friday night’s banger is, what will we think of next??
FULL SQUAD GAMING IS ON A ROLL
FULL SQUAD GAMING
It has been an extremely successful week for Full Squad Gaming, pulling nearly 1 million views across three long-form videos on YouTube in just a span of seven days! Two of the videos were from our wildly successful viral series Celebrity Imposter, featuring special guests Eric Winter, star of the hit ABC drama The Rookie, and NRG investor and superfan Shaquille O’Neal. The third video was a hilarious short film comedy sketch welcoming FSG fan favorite Classify back to the squad full-time.
Vibes are at an all-time high, Full Squad Gaming is firing on all cylinders—the sky is the limit!
OFFSCRIPT AT THE TOP OF THE CHARTS
NRG VALORANT
Riding the wave of momentum from the roster announcements last week, NRG published the latest episode of the NRG VALORANT Offscript podcast! Host Babybay, FNS, S0m, Mada, and Ethan answered questions candidly about the decision to change up the roster, and the fans responded, making this our highest-viewed and most engaged episode to date!
NRG Offscript continues to be the most successful competitive Valorant podcast on the internet, and we aim to keep the momentum going! The next episode is already in production and will provide NRG fans with a chance to meet the new player on the block, Brawk. We are also going to give viewers a super special sneak peek teaser of our highly anticipated NRG docuseries, premiering very soon! All of this, of course, is building towards the team’s big return to the stage on March 21st!
GOING FOR THE 3PEAT!
NRG ROCKET LEAGUE
The NRG Rocket League team was back on the digital pitch over the weekend, picking up exactly where they left off—absolutely dominating the third North American Open bracket qualifier. Beastmode, Daniel, and Atomic put on a show during the Swiss stage of the tournament, culminating in a high-profile victory over longtime rival Space Station Gaming.
The team is in a strong position to do the unthinkable and win a third straight NA Open. The world will be watching us compete in the Top 16 this weekend as we continue this historic run. The team will have an extra boost heading into competition, currently set to bootcamp in Michigan in preparation for the 2025 Birmingham Major, kicking off March 27th.
