FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In time for CES 2019, HyperX, the gaming division of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., and Allied Esports, a global esports entertainment company, today announced a multiyear naming rights agreement for North America’s first mobile esports arena, now named HyperX Esports Truck. The truck, formally known as Esports Arena DRIVE, made its debut during CES 2018 and will return to the event next month at the Sands Convention Center to make its first 2019 appearance as HyperX Esports Truck.
Expanding HyperX’s presence at gaming, entertainment, lifestyle and music events around the country, the state-of-the-art, 80-foot, 18-wheel, 35-ton semi-trailer unfolds with a push of a button to reveal a self-contained mobile arena featuring a competition stage with full production facilities, a caster studio, social media center and VIP lounge.
