ASUS Republic of Gamers and S-GAME have unveiled six co-branded gaming products inspired by action RPG Phantom Blade Zero. The lineup includes a redesigned ROG NUC 16 mini PC configurable with up to a GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU, alongside a monitor, keyboard, keycaps, mouse and headset. ASUS says the collection is due from late October 2026.
Key takeaways
The collaboration pairs ROG hardware with the game’s dark wuxia-inspired visual design, while retaining the performance-focused specifications of the existing ROG NUC 16. Availability and pricing details vary by product and market.
- The ROG NUC 16 is offered with RTX 5070 or RTX 5080 Laptop graphics.
- The mini PC features an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor and a 3-liter chassis.
- The six-product collection also includes a 27-inch dual-mode monitor and wireless gaming peripherals.
Compact gaming PC gets a themed redesign
The ROG NUC 16 Phantom Blade Zero Edition uses a black-and-crimson exterior with thread-like accents, totem patterns and artwork depicting protagonist Soul. ASUS says the chassis supports vertical or horizontal placement, with a removable bracket and tool-free access to memory and storage for upgrades.
Inside, the system pairs an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor—specified with 24 cores and boost speeds up to 5.5 GHz—with either a GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU with 12GB of memory or an RTX 5080 Laptop GPU with 16GB. The NUC supports up to 128GB of DDR5 memory and two 4TB SSDs. ASUS also highlights a triple-fan cooling system and unified vapor chamber. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, 2.5Gb Ethernet, and HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.1 outputs.
Six products make up the collection
Beyond the mini PC, the ROG and S-GAME collaboration includes the ROG Strix XG27UCGR-G monitor, ROG Strix Morph 96 Wireless keyboard, a Phantom Blade Zero keycap set, ROG Harpe II ACE mouse and ROG Delta II headset. The products share black-and-red styling and game-inspired details.
The 27-inch Fast IPS monitor supports 4K at 162Hz or Full HD at 485Hz, with a stated minimum response time of 0.3ms. The 49-gram Harpe II ACE mouse uses a 42,000-dpi optical sensor and supports wireless polling up to 8,000Hz. The Delta II headset offers Bluetooth, 2.4GHz wireless and wired 3.5mm connections, with up to 110 hours of battery life under specified conditions.
