TL;DR
- Parallel Studios targets early 2026 for a major mobile TCG launch and new game releases.
- The mobile TCG expands from PC, featuring new cards, matchmaking, and optional NFT integration.
- Parallel Colony is an AI-powered, mobile-first survival strategy game launching in 2026.
Parallel Studios announced a coordinated slate of releases centered on a mobile TCG and two complementary products, targeting early 2026 as the delivery window. The mobile TCG is the lead product in the studio’s push to expand from PC and console exposure into broad mobile distribution, and the plan balances an October–November 2025 preliminary rollout with a full mobile launch in Q1 2026.
Mobile TCG rollout and features
The trading-card game began life as an open beta on PC in February 2024 and later appeared on the Epic Games Store, with a staged global mobile release in October–November 2025 ahead of the full mobile rollout in Q1 2026. The mobile TCG anchors the expansion from PC and console to mobile, aligning an initial availability window with a broader launch to secure distribution and player onboarding across platforms.
Key product changes for the mobile version include the Deception expansion with more than 90 new cards, revised matchmaking driven by MMR algorithms, and strengthened anti-bot protections to preserve competitive integrity. The studio describes the title as free-to-play, with optional NFT-based enhancements and play-to-earn mechanics using the $PRIME token; NFT-based enhancements are blockchain-linked digital items that modify gameplay or appearance, and play-to-earn denotes mechanics that enable players to earn transferable digital assets through participation.
Parallel Colony: AI-first survival strategy
Parallel Colony is positioned as an AI-powered web3 survival simulation and 4X strategy built for mobile-first engagement. The project ran an Early Alpha Access on 22‑09‑2025 limited to Solana Seeker phone users, and the finished product emphasizes AI-assisted gameplay through “Parallel Avatars” that assist decision-making.
The design foregrounds player-driven content creation via embedded AI tools, with gameplay centered on resource management and real-time progression inside a sci‑fi setting. These systems aim to blend simulation depth with accessible mobile-first interaction, maintaining persistent progression that reflects strategic choices over time.
AI Wayfinder overhaul and Sanctuary status
The studio has scheduled a major update to AI Wayfinder to refine automated DeFi strategies and improve its user interface. The goal is to broaden adoption among users who employ algorithmic or AI-assisted financial flows by streamlining strategy management and enhancing usability.
Separately, Sanctuary—a third‑person extraction shooter that completed alpha testing—has been moved in‑house for further development. This internal shift delays its public release and removes it from the early‑2026 lineup, concentrating resources on the mobile TCG, Parallel Colony, and the AI Wayfinder overhaul.
Parallel Studios’ roadmap concentrates product and technical investments around a mobile TCG launch, the debut of an AI-enabled 4X survival title, and a strategic overhaul of an AI DeFi tool. The studio’s staggered rollout—early mobile availability in October–November 2025 followed by a broader launch and platform updates in Q1 2026—frames the next verified milestone for investors, product teams and compliance officers: monitor the October–November 2025 preliminary mobile release and the Q1 2026 window for the full slate.
