Firefall cosplay is free-to-admire

Just because Red 5's Firefall takes place in an inhospitable alien world, floating somewhere in virtual space, doesn't mean the game's characters can't flex their muscles here on Earth. Here's a clip of Lee Reherman (aka Gladiators' Hawk) and Crystal Graziano, who've been chosen by the company to represent the title's Typhon and Mourningstar in real-world events – complete with rockin' huge power-armor.

Hollywood FX artist Steve Wang, whose past work includes creature design on AvP: Requiem, designed the larger-than-life costumes and weaponry for Reherman and Graziano. They'll be appearing in full get-up for at least six convention appearances this year, as well as what Red 5 teasingly calls an “unannounced project aimed at bringing Firefall’srich sci-fi universe to life.” Meanwhile back in Firefall (the game), beta signups are still ongoing for the game's rollout later this year. In the meantime, check out our most recent hands-on preview.
