The writer chose Malik, a tank who fights with a shield that splits into two. The flying carpet is the standout feature: it handles movement, evasion, attack, and teammate rescue, and it sits at the center of combat design. Three-player co-op against large bosses worked naturally without pre-assigned roles. The game is in development for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. Release timing is undecided.","whyItMatters":"The preview argues the flying carpet is not a visual gimmick but the core of combat design, and that co-op against large enemies works naturally around it.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe demo ran a mid-boss fight followed by a larger final boss. Malik\u0026#39;s special attack takes one to two seconds to trigger, so boss fights come down to timing; mistimed, the character stands glowing while a giant foot comes down. The carpet summons and dismisses with one button, and its acceleration and deceleration give fine control over speed and direction. When a teammate falls, the carpet lets players reach them fast, and enemies can be held before revival, so rescue is a tactical call rather than routine. The build is pre-alpha, so details may change.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Automaton played the pre-alpha co-op demo of 1001 Threads of Mizan at gamescom 2026.
