The Southeast Asian debut of 88rising’s renowned musical festival Head in the Clouds (HITC) just became more OP with world-renouned video game publisher and developer Riot Games announcing its involvement by bringing an immersive themed experience based on its hugely-popular tactical shooter video game VALORANT.
Slated to take place in HITC Manila on December 9-10, 2022, festival-goers are invited into the VALORANT Universe and in particular, through the Neon’s Crib, inspired by VALORANT’s first Filipino in-agent Neon. Neon’s Crib will be brought to life as part of a VALORANT booth, providing fans with some unforgettable Insta-worthy moments. Those at the festival can also look forward to meeting and listening to Ylona Garcia, the Filipino-Australian singer behind ‘Entertain Me’ - the single released in celebration of Neon. Fans can also enjoy an immersive series of activities including guessing the code to unlock The Vault to win Neon swag kit as a memorabilia whilst stamps can be collected to redeem exclusive VALORANT and HITC Manila swag.
Speaking of the event, Riot Games Country General Manager for the Philippines Joel Guzman said, “Riot Games is more than just a gaming company. We strive to create immersive experiences through music, entertainment and fashion but with players as our number one focus. Being able to collaborate with industry giants like 88rising and meeting our players at events like Head in the Clouds further elevates VALORANT’s position as a trendsetter that bridges both gaming and music, and we can’t wait for the local community to enjoy the immersive VALORANT-themed experience and activities at the festival. Our Filipino community has been one of the most active and engaging communities in Southeast Asia and we love to reward and excite them with activations like this one. Whether you’re a gamer or music festival goer, we welcome all of you to our booth. See you all there!”
