SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 December 2025—Magic Chess: Go Go (MCGG) has unveiled its fourth season, marking a significant milestone with a collaboration with THE KING OF FIGHTERS (KOF). This first-ever partnership introduces a blend of the iconic fighter universe into the strategic realm of chess, featuring eight themed commander skins, two new synergies, and a KOF-inspired chessboard skin. Players can also participate in the Promo Diamonds event, explore new battle modes, and compete in the GO1 World Championship (GO1), MCGG’s inaugural international tournament. Developed by MOONTON Games, this new season underscores the company’s dedication to enhancing gaming and esports experiences globally.
The collaboration with KOF brings a fresh dynamic to MCGG, incorporating beloved characters such as Aurora “Kula Diamond”, Chou “Iori Yagami”, and Valir “Kyo Kusanagi” into the game. This partnership not only enriches the visual and strategic elements of the game but also introduces two exclusive synergies—KOF and Mortal Rivals—alongside a limited-time chessboard skin, offering players a unique battlefield experience.
Innovative Features and Events
The new season 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 against a retro arcade-inspired backdrop, this event captures the classic fighting spirit of KOF, allowing players to immerse themselves fully in the theme. Additionally, the Promo Diamonds event offers players the chance to unlock discounts on in-game items, enhancing their gameplay experience.
According to Gao “Skyhook” Chong, MCGG Producer at MOONTON Games, the collaboration with KOF is a significant step for MCGG. “Working with KOF is a huge step for MCGG, and we’re especially excited since it’s our first collaboration. Bringing this iconic franchise into our universe allows us to explore new ways to merge strategy and combat while offering players more depth and variety in how they approach the game,” Chong stated.
Strategic Enhancements and New Modes
Season 4 also introduces Commander Power Cards, adding a new layer of strategy to the game. Each commander now possesses unique powers, enabling players to experiment with different combinations and strategies. This feature rewards bold strategy and skill, allowing players to turn the tide of battle by selecting the right cards at the right time.
The introduction of Arena Mode offers players unlimited time during the preparation round to build their ultimate lineup. This mode features an exclusive ranking system based on Arena Trophies, encouraging players to climb the leaderboard and prove their strategic prowess. The Betting Mechanism adds a high-stakes element, allowing players to double their trophies for massive rewards.
Global Esports Ambitions
MCGG Season 4 also marks the return of the MCGG Rising Star (MRS), providing 14 direct slots to the upcoming GO1 World Championship. This prestigious international tournament will be held alongside the M7 World Championship in Jakarta, Indonesia, in January 2026. The event promises to transform Indonesia into a global esports hub, uniting top teams, players, and fans in a celebration of competitive gaming.
MCGG’s commitment to inclusive esports is further highlighted by its participation in the 33rd Southeast Asian (SEA) Games in Bangkok, Thailand. For the first time, a mobile auto chess game will feature at this biennial regional sporting event. The MCGG demonstration match on 12 December will open the Games, providing players with the opportunity to showcase their strategies and compete at an international level.
Chong expressed pride in MCGG’s achievements, stating, “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.”
