THE KING OF FIGHTERS crossover marks MCGG’s first-ever collaboration

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 December 2025—Magic Chess: Go Go (MCGG) launched its fourth season, teaming up with THE KING OF FIGHTERS (KOF) for the game’s first collaboration. This milestone partnership brings the fighter universe to the chessboard with eight themed commander skins, two new synergies, and a KOF-inspired chessboard skin. In addition, players gain access to the Promo Diamonds event, new battle modes, and can fight their way to the top in the GO1 World Championship (GO1)—MCGG’s first international tournament. Developed by the international video game company, MOONTON Games, the new season demonstrates its commitment to creating engaging gaming and esports experiences worldwide.
Don your fighter gear in Season 4
MCGG kicks off its first-ever collaboration by joining forces with KOF—the legendary franchise that has inspired generations of gamers. The battlefield will be decked out in combat with eight all-new KOF-themed commander skins, featuring Aurora “Kula Diamond”, Chou “Iori Yagami”, Dyrroth “Chris”, Karina “Leona”, Guinevere “Athena Asamiya”, Gusion “K'”, Paquito “Terry Bogard”, and Valir “Kyo Kusanagi”. Be prepared to emerge a #FightersReborn as the collaboration unleashes two exclusive synergies, KOF and Mortal Rivals, alongside with a limited-time chessboard skin.
The collaboration also introduces the Destined Duel event, where players can earn up to 70 Leona Draw Tokens, KOF Deploy Effects, and the Johnson “Death Chariot” skin. Set in a retro arcade-inspired interface, Destined Duel immerses players in the classic fighting spirit of KOF. Players can also enjoy Promo Diamonds (in-game currency) to unlock generous discounts on in-game items. By participating in events, logging in, and more, players can collect commanders and chessboard skins to upgrade their battlefield experience.
Gao “Skyhook” Chong, MCGG Producer at MOONTON Games, said: “Working with KOF is a huge step for MCGG, and we’re especially excited since its our first collaboration. Bringing this iconic franchise into our universe allows us explore new ways to merge strategy and combat while offering players more depth and variety in how they approach the game. This is not just a crossover—it’s an expansion of our IP and a showcase of how our game can grow beyond auto chess while keeping strategic gameplay at its core. We’re excited to see how players from both worlds adapt, compete, and make the MCGG battlefield their own!”
Outfight, outsmart, dominate the chessboard
The new Commander Power Cards introduces a new layer of strategy to the battlefield. Each commander now wields unique powers, allowing players to experiment with devastating combinations. Players can select their own Commander’s Power Card for enhanced abilities or harness the strength of other Commanders for a unique advantage. Players can turn the tide of battle by picking the right cards at the right time—rewarding bold strategy and skill as they fight to dominate the chessboard.
Step into the new Arena Mode, where every player has unlimited time in the preparation round to build their ultimate lineup. Plan your strategy, position your commanders, and unleash deadly combinations to dominate the battlefield. The Arena Mode features an exclusive ranking system, where players’ ranks depend on the number of Arena Trophies. Win rounds, climb the leaderboard, and prove you have what it takes to be the top fighter!
As the rounds progress, Commanders level up automatically and players receive random Go Go Cards and powerful Equipment to strengthen their forces. They can also purchase game-changing items from the Arena Shop to earn an edge in fights. Before each duel, engage in the high-stakes Betting Mechanism—double your trophies for massive rewards, but beware as one wrong move could cost you heavily.

Fight to become the first MCGG world champion
MCGG Season 4 returns with the MCGG Rising Star (MRS), offering 14 direct slots to the upcoming GO1. The inaugural edition of MCGG’s most prestigious international tournament will take place alongside the M7 World Championship (M7) in Jakarta, Indonesia, in January 2026. As part of the M7 Carnival, MCGG will join Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) in turning Indonesia into a global sporting stage, uniting top teams, players, and fans from around the world in a celebration of esports.
With its democratic and accessible gameplay, MCGG makes it possible for any player to compete at the highest level. By empowering all players to rise as champions, MCGG brings its vision of inclusive esports onto the international stage. The title will make history at the 33rd Southeast Asian (SEA) Games in Bangkok, Thailand, marking the first time a mobile auto chess game will feature at the biennial regional sporting event. On 12 December, the MCGG demonstration match will open the Games with a #BattleofWits, where every player has the chance to test their strategies, outsmart their opponents, and prove that anyone can rise to become a champion.
Chong added: “We’re incredibly proud that MCGG has reached international sporting stages, standing alongside both esports and traditional sports. Tournaments like the GO1 World Championship and the SEA Games give us the chance to uncover hidden champions—players whose talent and strategy might otherwise go unseen. Our goal has always been to empower everyday players through the game, and we’re excited to see our vision come to life on these big stages.”

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 19 June 2026 – The 2026 International Automotive and Supply Chain Expo (Hong Kong) officially opened today. Under the theme “Luxury, Elevated to a New Realm”, ZEEKR unveiled the global expansion strategy for its dual flagship 9-Series models — the ZEEKR 9X and ZEEKR 009 Grand.

As a key gateway connecting China with global markets, Hong Kong serves as an important benchmark for the premium automotive industry and a strategic platform for luxury brands expanding internationally. Launching the global strategy for the 9-Series in Hong Kong marks a significant new chapter in ZEEKR’s growth across the global premium new energy vehicle market.

800,000 Deliveries Milestone Underscores ZEEKR’s Global Growth Momentum

Strong market performance continues to support ZEEKR’s expansion in the global premium new energy vehicle segment. As of June 16, 2026, ZEEKR’s cumulative global deliveries officially exceeded 800,000 vehicles, marking a major milestone for the brand.

In Hong Kong, ZEEKR has maintained strong momentum. From January to May 2026, ZEEKR captured a 40.7% market share of Hong Kong’s luxury vehicle segment, ranking first among all luxury automotive brands. The ZEEKR 009 ranked as Hong Kong’s best-selling luxury MPV, while the ZEEKR 7X became the city’s best-selling luxury SUV.

Across key international markets, ZEEKR continues to achieve strong results. In Thailand, the brand was the best-selling luxury pure-electric MPV brand in 2025 and retained its leadership position from January to May 2026. In Malaysia, ZEEKR ranked No.1 among luxury pure-electric brands during the same period, with the ZEEKR 7X leading the luxury electric SUV category and the ZEEKR 009 remaining the top-selling luxury electric MPV. In Australia, ZEEKR continued to lead the luxury SUV segment priced above AUD 65,000 from January to May. In Mexico, the ZEEKR 7X secured the monthly luxury EV sales title in both April and May.

Dual Flagship 9-Series Models Showcase ZEEKR’s Technology-Luxury Vision

At this year’s expo, ZEEKR is showcasing five models spanning family mobility, executive transportation and flagship luxury, highlighting the breadth of its premium product portfolio.

The ZEEKR 9X, ZEEKR’s new global flagship of ultra-luxury SUV, is built on the SEA-S architecture and features a 900V high-performance silicon carbide electric drive system delivering more than 1,030 kW of maximum power. Four integrated safety structures combined with extensive use of 2,000 MPa ultra-high-strength steel contribute to a torsional rigidity rating of 41,600 N·m/deg, setting a new benchmark for safety in the hybrid SUV segment. The ZEEKR 9X recently opened pre-sales in the Middle East, where it has received strong market interest. The model is scheduled to expand into key markets across Latin America, Central Asia and Europe.

The ZEEKR 009 Grand, the brand’s global ultra-luxury four-seater flagship MPV, features a 720-degree comprehensive safety architecture and the world’s first integrated die-cast C-ring cabin structure, delivering segment-leading rear-seat protection. The second row is equipped with two ultra-soft aniline leather executive seats featuring 20 massage points and an industry-leading seven-zone graphene heating system, creating an exceptional luxury experience for rear passengers.

A Decade of Sharing the Flavors of China: ‘Chinese Restaurant’ Stays True to Its Mission Through Food and Culture

CHANGSHA, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 19 June 2026 – Carrying the warmth of everyday life and the richness of Chinese civilization, Chinese Restaurant embarks on a new chapter as it celebrates its 10th anniversary. Marking this milestone, Chinese Restaurant: Nanyang Memories Season makes its highly anticipated return, with partners Huang Xiaoming, Wang Junkai, Hannah Quinlivan (Kun Ling), Jiang Yan, Jin Mengjia, Zhang Yaqi, Lin Shuwei, and the rest of the team ready to begin a heartwarming journey through Southeast Asia. The new season will premiere on June 19, airing every Friday at 12:00 p.m. (Beijing Time) on Mango TV and at 10:00 p.m. on Hunan TV.

Over the past nine years, Chinese Restaurant has traveled across multiple countries and regions, including Thailand, France, Italy, and Hungary. Looking back on its journey of cultural exchange, the program launched a dedicated Chinese food truck in France, allowing local residents and visitors to conveniently experience authentic Chinese flavors. In Hungary, food served as a unique language that fostered deeper intercultural understanding. During the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Italy, the program actively responded to the Belt and Road Initiative, using cultural interaction and culinary exchange to strengthen friendship between the two nations.

Now, standing at the threshold of its second decade, Chinese Restaurant: Nanyang Memories Season returns to Thailand, drawing upon the longstanding cultural, tourism, and people-to-people ties between China and Thailand. Through food and storytelling, the program once again brings Chinese culture to life on Southeast Asian soil.

The new season introduces an innovative business model inspired by traditional Chinese agricultural wisdom, creating a distinctive experience that combines pastoral ecology with the aesthetics of contemporary Chinese dining. New service concepts, including the “Chef’s Table” and “Chef at Home,” offer guests diverse culinary experiences while naturally integrating Chinese cuisine into everyday local life.

For ten years, Chinese Restaurant has remained committed to its original vision: telling authentic and heartfelt Chinese stories while showcasing the unique appeal of Chinese cuisine to global audiences. Through food, the program has helped narrow cultural distances, deepen international understanding, and highlight the confidence, vitality, and inclusiveness of Chinese culture.

The premiere episode of Chinese Restaurant: Nanyang Memories Season coincides with the Dragon Boat Festival, as the seven partners begin a brand-new entrepreneurial adventure in Chiang Mai, Thailand. From unexpected operational challenges and cultural differences to the dynamic interactions among team members with diverse personalities, the journey promises a wealth of memorable moments and compelling stories for viewers.

Over the years, the Chinese Restaurant franchise has consistently used authentic Chinese cuisine as a bridge connecting people across cultures. Every dish reflects the traditions and warmth of Chinese daily life, while every shared meal conveys the spirit and values of Eastern culture. Set against real-world international backdrops, the program vividly presents the depth and richness of Chinese civilization.

Today, Chinese Restaurant is far more than a culinary reality show. It has become a platform for cultural dialogue, mutual understanding, and friendship between China and the world. Through the universal language of food, the program continues to bring people closer together, allowing Chinese flavors and Chinese stories to resonate across borders and leave a lasting impression on audiences worldwide.
