Seattle, April 1st, 2021 - It’s that time of year again. The sun is shining, flowers are blooming, and the Aether Studios trailers are premiering. In this annual April Fools tradition, puppet versions of the Rivals of Aether characters ran wild as the studio updated fans on new projects from Aether Studios and their partners. The direct premiered on Twitch on April 1st at 10 AM PT. If you missed out, you can still watch the show in its entirety on Youtube.

 

“April Fools has slowly become the biggest day of the year at Aether Studios. What started as a simple joke blog post ballooned into an uncontrollable monstrosity. We weren’t sure how we were going to top last year’s Twitch Plays Rivals Direct 3, but somehow we managed to do it with the help of Manual Cinema, Adam Carra, and the Puppets of Aether Show. Now we can’t seem to get off this wild ride. Aether Studios is looking for investment opportunities specifically so we can fund our wildest and dumbest April Fools ideas.” - Dan Fornace
