Why it matters
ROG's anniversary catalog now runs past monitors and headsets into furniture and rain gear, a reminder that a gaming brand's 20th year is being sold as a lifestyle line as much as a hardware cycle.
Key Facts
- ASUS JAPAN announced the ROG Destrier Edition 20 Gaming Chair and the ROG Umbrella for ROG's 20th anniversary.
- The ROG Destrier Edition 20 Gaming Chair has a black-and-gold design and armrests that raise up to 14 cm for mobile play.
- The ROG Umbrella has a 113 cm inverted-fold canopy on a fiberglass frame and a one-touch open/close button.

The ROG Destrier Edition 20 Gaming Chair carries a black-and-gold design with an adjustable headrest, lumbar support, and armrests that rise up to 14 cm for mobile play. The ROG Umbrella, a 113 cm inverted-fold umbrella on a fiberglass frame, comes in Black & Red and Black & White and goes on sale Friday, November 13, 2026.
The chair's mobile mode raises the armrests as much as 14 cm and allows 360-degree rotation for finer positioning, and a removable sound-insulating panel on the sides cuts noise. The umbrella opens and closes with a one-touch button, and its inverted fold keeps water trapped inside the canopy so it does not drip. Only the umbrella has a release date so far: Friday, November 13, 2026, in Black & Red (ROG Umbrella BK-RD) and Black & White (ROG Umbrella BK-WH). Both items sit under the Republic of Gamers brand, which ASUS describes as built on the idea of a country made by people who love games.
