This past weekend RiME was shown off at PAX East, and the reception was spectacular. As guests of the Sony Booth, RiME was the biggest walk-up hit according to their staff. While we do not have any hard numbers, the RiME station was occupied every moment the expo hall was opened, players waiting over an hour to try out the demo.
During the show, we handed out hundreds of coloring pages and a few lucky attendees walked away with a t-shirt or a fox plush. On top of giving out items, we also asked players for their thoughts after playing RiME. We'll be taking that feedback and sharing it with the community once it is ready. Keep an eye out on Facebook and Twitter for more updates on that!
During the 3 days of the show, The Fox was always nearby to make sure players found their way while playing RiME. If The Fox was busy, we had our Brand Manager Andrew Schnorr and Community Manager Tim Slager available to answer any questions.
We want to say thank you to everyone who stopped by the Sony booth to hang out with us this weekend. Your energy and excitement were contagious and we're so excited for players to finally get their hands on RiME May 26th!
