MBC Game Studio

MBC Game Studio is a Saudi studio whose debut title, the action adventure 1001 Threads of Mizan, was revealed at gamescom 2026 with a pre-alpha demo. The game is in development for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2, with release timing undecided.

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Sep 11

MBC Game Studio introduced itself at gamescom 2026 with a debut action adventure drawn from One Thousand and One Nights. The studio showed the game to media at a closed booth, and it supports solo play up to three-player co-op with seamless switching between magic carpet flight and ground combat. Release timing is undecided.

By early September, a pre-alpha co-op demo had been played by Automaton. The flying carpet handles movement, evasion, attack, and teammate rescue, and the preview treats it as the center of combat design rather than a visual gimmick. The writer picked Malik, a tank who fights with a shield that splits into two. Three-player co-op against large bosses worked without pre-assigned roles.

Across both stories the picture is stable: one studio, one title, four named platforms (PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2), and no release window. The premise departs from the familiar Aladdin and Ali Baba episodes in favor of the broader tales. What remains unstated is the staff, the publisher, and any date.

Flying Carpet Drives Combat in 1001 Threads of Mizan Preview

Automaton played a pre-alpha co-op demo of 1001 Threads of Mizan at gamescom 2026. The writer chose Malik, a tank who fights with a shield that splits into two. The flying carpet is the standout feature: it handles movement, evasion, attack, and teammate rescue, and it sits at the center of combat design. Three-player co-op against large bosses worked naturally without pre-assigned roles. The game is in development for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. Release timing is undecided.
