The partnership commences on March 23rd at the Game Developers Conference with a themed party for event attendees and influencers. In addition, Gen.G’s PC cafe in Seoul will host a community play event where fans can play with Eternal Return streamers.

Arnold Hur, CEO of Gen.G, spoke on the collaboration: “We’re taking what a partnership has traditionally meant in the esports space and flipping it on its head. Gen.G has always been about cultivating an inclusive and widespread community worldwide where fans could come together to celebrate esports and gaming as a whole.

“Working with Nimble Neuron to put eyes back on their exciting IP is giving us the opportunity to expand our reach beyond the silo of esports to expand their reach to the larger competitive community.”

Alongside the activations, Gen.G will launch the Eternal Return Collegiate Club Program, a network supported by both parties through sponsorship and mentorship opportunities.

Teams formed by institutions, including the University of Kentucky, will compete in official tournaments leading up to the Eternal Return College Cup event.
