1001 Threads of Mizan Tells a Tale of Kings and Jinn

1001 Threads of Mizan was one of the more interesting new games revealed during Gamescom, and we are now getting another look at its just incredibly beautiful world thanks to a new animated lore trailer. If you were expecting gameplay, you will have to wait a little bit longer. This trailer takes us into the game’s story, with the legendary Storyweaver Shahrazad telling the tale of the Fisherman and the King. The story is set within an Arabian fantasy world inspired by One Thousand and One Nights, where three unlikely heroes called Yusra, Malik and Sufyan become involved in a conflict that turns out to be much bigger. Their journey revolves around rediscovering the lost power of the Mizan and stopping an ancient Jinn king before his thirst for vengeance threatens humanity.

The new trailer really gives us an idea of the mythology and characters that will be a part of this world, and the animation is just amazing.

An Adventure Built for Co-op

In case you missed it during Gamescom, 1001 Threads of Mizan is being developed and published by MBC Game Studio, and the team includes developers who previously worked at BioWare, Hi-Rez, Ubisoft Montréal, and even Bungie. The game is designed for up to three players, with drop-in, drop-out co-op allowing friends to join and leave without interrupting the adventure. The game is currently in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.

And yes, you can fly around on magic carpets.

The flying carpets are not just funny mounts either. They are at the heart of the game’s traversal and gameplay systems, allowing you to fly across the world, explore its environments and even take on enormous jinn together.

After its Gamescom reveal, it is still very early for 1001 Threads of Mizan, but this new lore trailer gives us a little more context for the world that MBC Game Studio is building. And more information will most likely be shared in the coming months, so stay tuned!
