Last week we brought together VALORANT community new and old to celebrate our launch to console! Over 300 (!) players joined us for the night to play on Xbox, eat a delicious 10 course menu inspired by our Agents (Created by Mr Grubworks), and 3 amazing DJ sets from Maisi and artists from Loud LDN. Huge thanks to everyone internally that made this happen, and Bastion for putting together a night our players will never forget. On a personal note, so many of my friends came along to this, I'm so thankful for your constant support, real ones <3

It's Friday! Which means another Bastion News Digest is now live 🗞 This week, SEGA's acquisition of Angry Birds creators Rovio, has an incredible impact on their financial performance. The battle between AI and video game performers continues and the surprising endorsement an Esports Valorant team received by a Vice Presidential candidate in the US resurfaces. And finally, one developer has gone to great lengths to protect the IP of their game... Even planning for its future in the event of their death. This raises the question: is creative vision more important than lucrative offers? Tom Stone discusses in this week's spotlight this week.
