Tech-meets-automotive as Gameloft reveals its upcoming eSports event — the Lamborghini Revuelto eSports Challenge. The competition, set within the virtual world of Asphalt 9: Legends, will focus on Lamborghini’s latest model, the first V12 hybrid plug-in HPEV super sport car, fitted with Bridgestone Potenza Sport tyres.
The Lamborghini Revuelto, an innovative blend of classic V12 engineering and cutting-edge hybrid technology, marked a significant leap in the automotive world when it was launched last March. The virtual Bridgestone tyres help deliver its remarkable performance, while gamers will get to harness its astounding 1,015 horsepower in this virtual challenge.
Asphalt 9: Legends has emerged as one of the most downloaded games in the racing genre, making it the perfect venue for the upcoming eSports event. Gamers from various platforms — iOS, Android, Xbox, and PC — can dive into this challenge for a simulated experience of what it’s like to drive this electrifying super sports car.
The Asphalt 9 Lamborghini Revuelto eSports Challenge is structured around two one-week open qualifiers, with the two fastest drivers from each round earning a spot in the live-streamed finale scheduled for 21 September. Prizes include €5,400 (£4,645) worth of vouchers redeemable in the Lamborghini store for the winners.
As a bonus, every gamer who signs up for the competition
is automatically entered into a raffle, with three winners receiving Lamborghini store vouchers worth €200 (£172) each. Beyond just the winnings, the event promises to deliver a unique and thrilling experience, further blurring the lines between virtual and real-world racing.
“We are incredibly excited to bring back the official Lamborghini eSports competition in Asphalt 9: Legends,” said Ignacio Marín, Asphalt 9: Legends Game Manager at Gameloft Barcelona. “With the newly released Lamborghini Revuelto at the centre of the competition, we know that players will be eager to test their skills and compete for the chance to win some incredible prizes.”
