– The Third Age Enters Alpha – Invites Players to Join ‘The War of Middle Earth’

PopPace has sent word that its latest game has entered alpha testing. Called The Third Age, the game is self-described as “a time to join the War of Middle Earth now!” It appears to be heavily “inspired” by Tolkien’s Middle-Earth, though not in an official way. Players will encounter an Elven Queen, a “sagacious” Gray Wizard, dwarves and even a familiar looking white wizard.

Winning fan designs for a new character and a Masmak Fort stage are coming to the The King of Fighters XIV

As previously reported, Saudi artist Mashael Al Barrack won a contest held by SNK and Manga Productions to design a new character to appear in one of their games. Now, as a result SNK has announced that a female fighter from the region of Najd will be coming to The King of Fighters XIV as a DLC character.

Mashael’s design was chosen from over 300 designs from artists from countries such as Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, and more. Involved in the selection was a 13-person panel including KOFXIV producer Yasuyuki Oda, character designer Eisuke Ogura, and art director Nobuyuki Kuroki.

In addition to the character, another contest was also held for a new stage. The winning design, based on the Masmak Fort in Riyadh — by Zainab Al-Lawaty of Oman — will also be coming as DLC.

New nostalgia, holiday and (even more!) Chun-Li costumes coming to Street Fighter V

New screenshots have surfaced showing off 10 new costumes coming for Street Fighter V, including this year’s batch of holiday costumes and another set of nostalgia costumes. Gamer — a Japanese publication — released details on the new costumes along with the V-Trigger II trailer that debuted on Sunday at Red Bull Battle Grounds. Alex, Cammy, Kolin and Menat will receive new holiday costumes, while Birdie, Balrog, Chun-Li and Karin will get new nostalgia costumes. Chun-Li will also receive two additional costumes; a training outfit with more pads (but less fabric), and a SWAT costume.

All of the premium costumes will be released at the standard price of $3.99 and Capcom will also offer a discounted pack of last year’s holiday costumes in similar fashion to the 2016 Halloween bundle. The Frosty Boulevard stage will once again be available for $1.99 or 70,000 Fight Money. Birdie and Balrog had fallen somewhat behind in costume choices, making them interesting picks for nostalgia costumes, especially for those who wished Birdie had stayed in shape since his Street Fighter Alpha days! Meanwhile, these three new outfits give Chun-Li more than a dozen costumes to choose from, and Karin isn’t far behind her.
