“We have a very passionate and hardcore gaming community that has stuck with us for many years, and the idea of having a major gathering for Razer fans and all gamers out there was brought up countless times,” “2020 has been a challenging year for everyone around the world, greatly limiting physical events. We see RazerCon as an opportunity to celebrate gaming and the Razer community while setting a new standard for online events.”Min-Liang Tan
Kicking off RazerCon 2020, Razer’s Co-founder and CEO, Min-Liang Tan, will showcase Razer’s latest products, services and announcements during a live, virtual keynote presentation set against the iconic Singapore skyline.
The backdrop will be brought to life through immersive mixed-reality technology which incorporates augmented real-time effects, along with live-composited visuals taken from real-world photography and video footage – all this while being streamed live.
Not only that, RazerCon will be the first livestream event to be powered by Razer Chroma RGB lighting. Viewers around the world are encouraged to turn on their Razer hardware during the show and watch their Razer Chroma-enabled devices sync and dance to world-class performances from top EDM artists, and heavy metal band Sabaton as well as Herman Li from DragonForce, all of which are part of the RazerCon post-event concert.
The concert portion of the online convention will also tout sound enhanced by the audio engineering experts at THX Ltd, which have been responsible for not only implementing THX Spatial Audio to high-end hardware products, but also delivering it to numerous digital events like the Ocean Meets Festival Music Event.
Apart from just getting new Razer products, viewers will also be treated to exclusive previews of upcoming game titles. These include Empire of Sin by Romero Games, with a highlight of the title’s game pillars introduced by the legendary and award-winning game designer, Brenda Romero, a brand-new look at the wild frontier of the upcoming dungeon crawler Torchlight III from Echtra Games and Perfect World Entertainment, as well as a glimpse into the movie adaptation of Mutant Year Zero, directed by Hasraf ‘HaZ’ Dulull.
