Xbox Unveils Disney’s “Rise” Xbox Series S Travel Kit

Whatever your goals, there is power to make them a reality. Xbox has powered up with Disney to celebrate the all-new movie, “Rise,” by designing a custom travel kit from UpSpec Gaming that includes an Xbox Series S, an Xbox Wireless Headset, portable screen, and traveling case. The travel kit draws many inspirations from Giannis Antetokounmpo, the muse behind Disney’s latest motion picture and highlights several elements of his Greek culture, including Greek inspired patterns, drawing upon the piercing blue and white colors of the country’s calm seas. UpSpec Gaming Kits are now available for fans all over the world. by retweeting @Xbox on Twitter. Refer to the official rules.

Audiences have never seen a story like that of the Antetokounmpo’s. Charles and Vera Antetokounmpo, Dayo Okeniyi (and Yetide Badaki) emigrated from Nigeria to Greece. They struggled to provide for their children and survive, but were constantly threatened with deportation. The couple wanted to become Greek citizens, but the system kept them from obtaining it. Their oldest son was still living in Nigeria. When they weren’t selling items to tourists on the streets of Athens with the rest of the family, the brothers, Giannis (Uche Agada) and Thanasis (Ral Agada), would play basketball with a local youth team. The brothers, Kostas and Jaden Osimuwa were latecomers to the sport. They discovered their talents on the basketball court, where they worked hard to be world-class athletes. Giannis, with the support of an agent in 2013, entered the NBA Draft as a long shot prospect. This would have a profound impact on not only his own life but also the lives of his whole family. Last season saw Thanasis and Giannis help bring the Milwaukee Bucks their first ever championship ring. Kostas was a member of the Los Angeles Lakers’ previous champions.

“Rise” stars Dayo Okeniyi, Yetide Badaki, Manish Dayal, Taylor Nichols, introducing Ral Agada and introducing Uche Agada. The film was directed by Akin Omotoso (“Vaya”), written by Arash Amel (“A Private War”) and produced by Bernie Goldmann (“300”). Douglas S. Jones, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Giannis Antetokounmpo served as executive producers.

Xbox and Disney also invited members of the Boys & Girls Club of San Fernando Valley chapter to attend the film’s launch event alongside talent and filmmakers. There they had the opportunity to be one of the first, exclusive groups to see the film, highlighting Giannis & the Antetokounmpo family’s rise to greatness and received “Rise” Upspec Gaming Kits for on-the-go-gaming to help fuel their dreams inspired by the empowering message from the all-new movie.
