Back in May 2024 we speculated that a New ”Masters of the Universe” video game was in our future. We came to that conclusion because 1.) Mattel launched a video game self-publishing initiative last year and 2.) Our favorite creative development leader at Mattel, Rob David, had teased that among the mediums we will be able to experience Masters of the Universe... "video games" will be one of them. Here was that article: Our May 2024 article Well now it appears we may know the name of this video game and what type of game it is. The title looks…
I have said this numerous times before, but it merits another mention...
Mattel is missing out on SO MUCH MONEY by not licensing some of their properties for video games.
Sure, Barbie and Hot Wheels have seen some action, but a truly well-developed game set in the world of MOTU would be magnificent. And the best part is that it wouldn't just appeal to old-timers... new fans could easily get into a new game so long as it's a good game!
Sigh... Mattel is missing a large chunk of toy-buyers right now. Many children are into digital entertainment, and I believe this is the arena that will help reignite a lasting fandom for properties like MOTU.

Looking forward to this app. I really wonder what it's going to entail. Wonder if it will be a progress, world building game or more like a puzzle game where you unlock characters.
Mattel needs to flex the full IP! 5 movie pentalogy, video games, apps, lunch pales, coffee mugs, new adult book series in the form of novels like Star Wars did. There's such an appetite for MOTU it's insane. WE'RE READY FOR IT ALL!!!
Is anyone playing Blocktackle's Battle of Eternia CCG? Not sure if it's iOS only or available on other platforms. Apologies if there's already talk of it here somewhere that I couldn't find.
It's a fairly simple card game based on Revelation, but it's pretty fun. It's a bit glitchy here and there and pretty light on the features you'd expect in this sort of game, but it's only a few weeks old I think so hopefully it will mature nicely.
It probably isn't the sort of game a lot of people think of when they think of MOTU, but if you dig CCGs it's worth a look. You could drop money on IAPs if you wanted to, but it isn't necessary to play or build your collection of cards.
@maruten It doesn't look licensed. I don't see all the TMs everywhere. It looks neat but unlicensed apps that ask for purchases make me nervous because they can be taken down at any time.
There are Mattel trademark/copyright notices in the app (and on the App Store listing) and it launches with a Mattel logo on the loading screen but that's no guarantee, there are certainly a lot of unlicensed shenanigans going on in the mobile app space.
Between the breadth of Revelation assets used and frequency of updates, it doesn't feel like a dodgy knock-off, but you never know.
It says it came out in March made by a company called Blocktackle. This is their only app. I don't remember Mattel announcing anything and it's weird because the app name is called Battle of Eternia but everything else says Battle for Eternia. You'd think if they were official they wouldn't screw up the name. I am very wary of viruses and identity theft so I wouldn't try it.

I clicked on the link and it says "app not available". Must have been taken down.

Is that through the Apple store? That was quick. Mattel must be watching. I don't have an account but I can still view that page through my web browser.

I hit the link says app doesn't exist and I even searched for it in the App Store and it came up onions. Apps like these pop up every day. Just scammers looking to make a quick buck.
They may be doing regional pilots before launching worldwide, because it's still available in the Apple App Store here in Australia and still being regularly updated.
