G Fuel, the “official energy drink of Esports®” is partnering with Japanese video game developer Capcom to launch a new Mega Man-inspired energy drink. The ‘Blue Bomber Slushee’ is a sugar-free vanilla blue raspberry-flavored formula that boosts focus and energy, perfect for late-night gaming sessions.
G Fuel's success can be partially attributed to the brand’s streamer affiliate program, where major Twitch streamers can gain access to an affiliate code to share discounts with their audiences. G Fuel’s partner list includes popular streamers like Hmay, IMAngelikaa, and more.
The collaboration will also have a special Collector’s Box, complete with a ‘Mega Buster’ branded can and cup. Interested parties can visit G Fuel’s website to sign up for the ‘Blue Bomber Slushee’ waitlist.
