Roccat er blandt de mest genkendelige accessories brands i spilbranchen, og har i mange, mange år leveret mus, headsets og tastaturer til gamere over hele verden. For fem år siden blev de dog opkøbt af Turtle Beach, der stort laver det samme, og vi skulle nu allerede dengang have set hvilken vej vinden blæste.
Så nu er det altså sket, Roccat som brand ophører nu med at eksisterer, og deres produkter absorberes ind i Turtle Beach' line-up. Der findes nu en FAQ på brandets hjemmeside, hvor der står følgende:
"We want to bring a greater level of integration to our family of products across console, PC and simulation. We felt that time and resources would be best spent focusing under a single brand and creating a range of products that matter most to gamers. While we'll be retiring the ROCCAT brand, many of its iconic product lines like the Vulcan, Kone, Burst and Sense will transition under the Turtle Beach brand. Our commitment to PC products remains as strong as ever and we have several ground-breaking new products to introduce as well as Turtle Beach-branded versions of popular existing ROCCAT products sticking around."
Samtlige af Roccats SoMe-kanaler rebrandes nu til Turtle Beach, og Swarm-softwaren vil blive overført til Turtle Beach' suite.
