The Drone Racing League, the world’s premier, professional drone racing property, announced a new partnership with Nacon Gaming, makers of premium video game products. Named as the league’s Official Gaming Headset and Controller, Nacon equipped the best drone pilots in the world with RIG Commander PRO headsets for the 2021-22 DRL World Championship Season’s simulated races which began on November 17th. Throughout the 2021-22 Season, branded commercial spots, streaming promotions, and unboxing features will showcase how fans can gear up and get good with RIG and Nacon. The league will also release a new digital video series called “Sounds of DRL”, which highlights the best audio from DRL SIM racing moments and victories.
“DRL pilots are at the pinnacle of our sport and require best-in-class equipment for our competitions,” said Ari Mark, Head of Partnership Development at DRL. “Flying in professional esports headsets from Nacon will keep our elite drone pilots connected during the esports portion of our season.”
The virtual portion of the DRL season will feature the RIG Commander PRO headset on its 10th anniversary as the go-to audio solution for professional gaming leagues. Over a period of five weeks, DRL Pilots will compete in RIG Commander PRO, the headset that established the “look of esports” with its stadium class audio performance. Pilots will race through intense, digital drone races on the DRL SIM, the ultimate FPV (First Person View) drone flight simulators. Battling it out through spectacular SIM maps, participants will aim for the fastest finishes and collect equally-weighted points to physical DRL drone races, marking the first time an athlete must dominate both esports and real-life competitions in order to be crowned the World Champion.
RIG has been a market leader in the gaming headset industry for nearly a decade, developing ultra-lightweight, comfortable gear that delivers superior audio for competitive gamers. Acquired by Nacon in 2020, RIG now compliments Nacon’s premium range of gaming accessories that include pro gaming controllers and fight sticks. Players looking to fly like the DRL pros can connect their RIG headsets and Nacon controllers to the DRL SIM game, which is the fastest and easiest way for aspiring pilots to level up their drone skills on PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, and Epic Games. The best drone pilots in the world train on the DRL SIM and even get drafted into DRL through the SIM. Fans can tune in to the 2021-22 DRL World Championship Season on Wednesday nights at 8:00 PM EST on NBCSN and Twitter. The esports portion of the season will air live weekly from November 17th through December 15th.
