Former Crab War Team Launches Closed Beta for Marblebound, A Strategic Marble-Shooter Adventure for Southeast Asia & Hong Kong

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — June 2026 — An experienced game team composed of creators of Crab War and Claw Stars has officially launched the Closed Beta for Marblebound, a new mobile marble-shooter game that blends strategic combat, collectible heroes, and level progression into a strategic action adventure.

Developed by a small but experienced team with roots in the mobile games industry, Marblebound marks a new chapter for developers who previously contributed to successful mobile titles such as Crab War, Claw Stars, Masketeers, Alien Hive, Mobfish Hunter and more. Drawing on years of experience crafting accessible, engaging gameplay systems, the team aims to bring a fresh take to the marble-shooter genre with action-based mechanics, deeper strategy, hero synergy, and replayability.

In Marblebound, the world does not stand still – it is a universe where the very land drifts and fragments in an unpredictable transformation. A strange force is eroding the world and twisting the souls who have lost themselves into unrecognizable, chaotic Monsters. A few brave heroes have discovered a way to escape from this transformation by awakening the Marble—a physical manifestation of their spirit that anchors their own self in this world.

Assemble a team of heroes and launch marbles in tactical battles across unstable islands threatened by Monsters. The heroes force stability with their marbles onto the unstable, shattering the Monsters that threaten to consume the land. When marbles collide, their spirits resonate, growing stronger to push back the darkness. Journey across the drifting islands, forge artifacts, and restore balance to a world that has forgotten its shape.

The Closed Beta serves as an important milestone for the team as they gather community feedback, test game balance, and refine systems ahead of wider release plans. Players participating in the beta will have an opportunity to experience early content, communicate feedback directly to the developers, and be a part of the game development.
