MBC Game Studio reveals ‘1001 Threads of Mizan’ at Gamescom
MBC Game Studio has unveiled its debut title, ‘1001 Threads of Mizan,’ during the Gamescom 2026 Opening Night Live event. The game is an action-adventure title inspired by Arabian folklore and the ‘One Thousand and One Nights’ collection.
Players can engage in cooperative play with up to three people, featuring a drop-in/drop-out system. The gameplay emphasizes high-speed traversal and combat using flying carpets, allowing players to move between land and sky to battle colossal jinn. The narrative follows three heroes—Yusra, Malik, and Sufyan—as they are summoned by the storyweaver Shahrazad to reclaim the lost power of the Mizan.
Developed by a team with experience from studios such as BioWare, Ubisoft Montreal, and Bungie, MBC Game Studio is backed by the MBC Group, the largest media conglomerate in the Middle East. A pre-alpha demo featuring a boss fight against Nazjush was showcased at Gamescom. The title is planned for release on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2, though a specific release date and price have not yet been announced.
