Leading up to Gamescom 2025, set to begin on August 20 with a press event on August 19, ASUS is hinting at a new product launch and a series of giveaways for the event. According to information from VideoCardz, there may be a 30th Anniversary Edition ASUS NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 in the works. However, the website's HTML code suggests that the "new ROG graphics card" mentioned could actually be referring to the ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5080 Hatsune Miku Edition. VideoCardz speculates that this could be a placeholder link, as ASUS teased on X that they have something special planned for Gamescom 2025.
ASUS is also preparing giveaways for various gaming components and peripherals, including an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D bundle with an ROG Crosshair x870E motherboard, the aforementioned GPU and TUF Gaming Hatsune Miku Edition peripherals, an ASUS ROG Strix OLED gaming monitor, ROG Falcata split Hall-effect gaming keyboard, ROG Harpe II Ace gaming mouse, the ROG Strix GS-BE18000 gaming router, and an ROG Ryuo IV 360 AIO CPU cooler. Additional details on the ASUS 30th Anniversary giveaway page seem to confirm that a new RTX 5080 Astral GPU will be unveiled on August 19.
