Summer of Remasters & Remakes Twitch Marathon Starts TODAY!

It’s that time of the year again! Time for some summer time fun in the sun to get that good old rest and relaxation. But hey if hanging out in the summer heat isn’t your cup of tea, then we have you covered as our annual summer twitch marathon that starts today, May 23rd at 1:00 pm PT / 4:00 pm ET. We have our own brand of R&R for you, as this year’s theme is the Summer of Remasters and Remakes as we hype ourselves up for the upcoming Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter remake this fall.

The full list of confirmed and potential marathon games and weekly schedule are below, and all this excitement will happen on our Twitch channel. But first, we have some exciting prize news! Once again joining us on this summer journey are our good friends over at Pin Box. Thanks to Pin Box, we will have weekly giveaways all summer long in the form of a £25 gift card to their store every Saturday (starting May 31st) throughout the marathon, where you can find some incredible licensed merchandise from some of your favorite RPG franchises, including Trails, Ys, Shin Megami Tensei, and more!

To enter the giveaway each week, all you need to do is hang out and lurk on the stream to acquire points that you can spend every Saturday for a chance to win that week’s giveaway. But there are more ways to enter, too!

Here’s how entering will work:

• Everyone watching will passively earn points even if you’re just lurking.
• You can earn more points by spinning the Wheel of Summer. If you are feeling lucky and land on certain spots, you can receive additional points to spend on giveaways. There will be other additions as well on the wheel. Watch out for the whammies though!
• On certain games, we will be doing challenge runs where if I essentially game over, everyone in chat will be rewarded with additional points. This will also happen in any game that I game over with, but more likely to happen during challenge runs.
• Please note that like last year, you can win a maximum of two times all summer long, but not in consecutive weeks.
• You can also save your points each week to have more chances the following week, or even save them all for a bigger chance later on. But remember, others can do the same!
• Prize winners will only need to submit their name and email address (privately) to claim their gift card code. These emails will not be used for any other reason except to send your prize.
