With 2026 on the horizon, we’ve been taking a thorough look at MARVEL Puzzle Quest in its current post-Unity state and determining our plans for next year. These plans are going to be implemented so we can shape MPQ’s next year into one of excitement with new features and much-needed updates to the game.

Unity has shaped much of our work this year, capped by this summer’s launch of the Unity version of MPQ. We planned for some turbulence and a gradual smooth-out as we integrated the game into our live servers and finally got players to experience what was supposed to be a momentous milestone in the game’s history. While improvements have been continually made, they’re not being made at a steady enough progress to set up the 2026 that we had originally envisioned. 

However, on a positive note regarding new content, we also released our first post-Unity features with 6-Star characters and the all new Tower Mode. Both of which show some exciting potential in having a strong foothold in the game’s meta and we’re encouraged by the conversations that are being had around these features. We’ll continue to make adjustments in the future since this is our first rollout and there will of course be room for improvement. 

Since MPQ’s handoff to 505 Games, BCS has been a great partner in supporting its day-to-day live service operations and during these last months of Unity, and they’ve been working hard to stabilize the game. However, as we look toward not only the goals we have, but the further improvements needed, it’s clear we need to bring in additional resources to bring MPQ to where it needs to be.

In looking at our options for how to accomplish this, one team came to mind that was uniquely situated to tackle such an endeavor. We're excited to announce that our internal development studio, Infinity Plus Two (IP2), will be taking over the development of MARVEL Puzzle Quest. This change not only brings development efforts in-house to leverage their expertise in creating Unity games and managing live service titles, but it also returns MPQ to its Puzzle Quest roots with the team that created the franchise and defined the Match 3 RPG genre. 

Starting in 2026, IP2 will transition into the role of being our main development team in charge of MPQ and its full live service operations. While the IP2 team have already begun familiarising themselves with the project, as you can imagine, MPQ is a big game with a long history, so they will be transitioning over the coming months. Their first priorities will be ensuring content continues to be delivered smoothly and a focus on some QoLs while they come up to speed, before taking bigger swings. But the team is very keen and already making plans. We expect to have exciting things to talk about early next year after the team has had a chance to fully get to know the game. Also a fun fact, our very own IceIX has some very deep roots with this team since he has played an integral role in several Puzzle Quest games in the franchise’s history and will continue to be a key link in this new era of MPQ.

Expect to hear from us early next year as we begin to shape MPQ’s development from the house where Puzzle Quest began. We’ll be focusing on the obvious priorities like stability, but equally important to our players, new exciting refreshes to the game that will be outlined in a new 2026 roadmap. Until then, we look forward to unveiling our newest slate of characters for 2025 including the last two 6-star reveals of the year!
