Announced on April 1, the ROG Ally was initially dismissed as an April Fool’s Day joke.
Following the announcement, Shawn Yen – product management head of the company’s Republic Of Gamers brand – even pointed out the name was pronounced “a-lie” on LinkedIn.
However, today (April 3), Asus has confirmed that the ROG Ally is genuine. A release date or pricing for the handheld is yet to be announced, though Asus has suggested users sign up at Best Buy to be informed when pre-orders are opened.
