"VR gaming team the Manhattan Mist return to competition from their near-miss at the previous championship. This time they're taking on the new brawl mode, Renegade Royale! And with only one player who can be crowned champion, the game is on. STRAP IN FOR A BRAND NEW ROUND OF COMPETITIVE VR GAMING WITH YOUR FAVORITE TEAM OF CHAOTIC GALS! Since their defeat at the VR gaming championship for Renegade Rule, the team members of the Manhattan Mist haven't lost an ounce of momentum. So when a new brawl mode is introduced to the game—along with a sponsored inaugural competition—they're in it to win it (again)! But in this tournament, only one player can be crowned champion. Get ready for a burgeoning romance between two team members, all-new character classes, and new rivals who will push Tonya, Sasha, Amanda and Jessie to their very limits. Whether or not the Mist can make some time between jokes, swears, and stolen glances to make one of their own a VR gaming champion remains to be seen! Writers Ben Kahn and Rachel Silverstein rejoin artist Sam Beck and letterer Jim Campbell for the second installment of this queer kickass gaming experience.

"We're so thrilled to return to the world and friendships of Renegade Rule," said Ben Kahn and Rachel  Silverstein. "We had so much more story to tell with these characters, and we can't wait to share more queer romance and VR action with readers."

The 120-page Renegade Royale will be available on the 29th of July, 2025, for $19.99.
