Gameloft Sold to Vivendi

For those of you that follow Gameloft games, especially the MLP game, there is some news coming out of a change of ownership over at the studio. The Guillemot Family that owned the label before have sold their remaining shares to Vivendi which has been in a battle to take over the company for some time. Now owning 56% of the voting shares it looks like the take over is now complete and what this means for the company is yet to be seen.

We'll keep you guys updated on changes over at Gameloft concerning the MLP game as they break. Considering that this was not a peaceful take over things might get a bit bumpy in the near future. Thanks to TheShadowscale for letting us know!

Story: Trixie's Fire in the Blood

[Slice of Life]

Author: Georg

Description:
When all of your accomplishments have turned to dust, even the Great and Powerful must fall. After many such failures, Trixie has reached the nadir of her life, the lowest she could possibly sink, and now there is only one option remaining.
She is going to go home to Neigh Orleans in defeat.
That is, unless her Grand-Père Presto can restore Trixie’s confidence in herself with a little magic gumbo and a whole lot of love.

I wonder where AJ learned her lassoing skills? She's obviously quite talented, but even the talented have to take their first baby steps somewhere.

Artist Spotlight: Obpony / Maggwai / Vinicius

Hello everyone! Welcome to another edition of the Artist Spotlight, where we hope to highlight some artists you may not have heard of before. We've got a nice mix of artists today that I hope you'll find enjoyable.

So let's jump in and appreciate some artwork my friends!

I am currently not accepting anymore artists for the spotlight as I still have 120 emails to go through. I'm going to start from the beginning (emails from 2013) and try my best to clear all these guys out. If you sent in an artist before, thank you so much for your patience! I never expected this feature to take off like it did so I'm a bit overwhelmed.

Check out our spreadsheet here to see who has been featured!

New Book In The Princess Collection Announced

A fourth book for the MLP Princess Collection has appeared over on Hachette Books website! Called "Twilight Sparkles and the Forgotten Books of Autumn" it's obvious that it'll star Twilight, but the page gives little in the ways of information other than that tidbit other than the release date which is November 1st, 2016.

Furthermore, it appears that a boxed set will also be available starting November 1st as well so if you haven't jumped into the books yet you can get them all in a convenient package.

Thanks to Jason and Brony250 for sending it in!

ComicXposure Announces MLP: Friendship is Magic #44 SDCC Exclusive Cover!

These SDCC exclusives are going to be coming at the site like rounds fired from a machine gun, aren't they?

…

Don't answer that. It's a rhetorical question. Yes, I am updating my SDCC shopping list.

ComiXposure has announced via their instagram page that they will have an exclusive cover for Friendship is Magic #44 by IDW MLP Comic Artist Diana Leto. The cover, obviously stars the greatest ship in the franchise Discord and Fluttershy in a homage to the movie poster of the cult classic Jim Henson film Labyrinth.

Considering the plot of Labyrinth, apparently Discord meet Zephyr Breeze and decided to play a little game.

The cover will be available at the con at the ComicXposure booth, as well as being up for pre-order on ComicXposure's website for those unable to attend. Currently there is no price listed for this exclusive variant cover.

Considering that this is not a part of IDW Publishing's Exclusives for SDCC, I have a feeling that we're going to be seeing more MLP Exclusive Comic Material in the near future.

Special thanks to Chevistian1 and everyone else who sent it in!
