Mighty Bear Games is officially shutting down its web3 battle royale Mighty Action Heroes on July 22. The move marks a major shift in focus for the Singapore-based studio, which is now putting all its energy into GOAT Gaming - a Telegram-based mini-app that’s quickly become its biggest success yet.
This change means the end of Mighty Bear’s first real-time multiplayer game, but it also signals where the studio sees the most potential going forward: short, social games powered by AI and played directly inside messaging apps.

From Web3 Royale to Telegram Mini-Game
Mighty Action Heroes launched in late 2023 as a fast-paced, web3-enabled shooter with three-minute battle royale matches and a skill-based gear system. Players could collect NFT heroes, equip crafted items, and battle it out in real time on the Polygon network.
Despite multiple content drops and seasonal events, the team faced a core issue when trying to bring the game to Telegram. The platform doesn’t support low-latency real-time multiplayer, which meant a proper port just wasn’t possible without compromising gameplay. Rather than deliver a watered-down experience, the studio chose to shut the game down entirely.
The servers will go offline on July 22, with backend services winding down a bit earlier. Once that happens, players won’t be able to access the game or transfer assets.

What Happens to Player Assets?
For players who spent time collecting heroes, grenades, or supply crates, there’s still a chance to export those items before the shutdown. NFT-based assets can be moved to external wallets up until the servers go dark. After that, everything on-chain will be frozen.
Starter items - like free heroes and grenades - were never on-chain, so those can’t be exported. Season Passes won’t be refunded, but current pass holders will still have access to everything in Season content until the very end. Mighty Cup trophies will remain on-chain, and the team has hinted that these collectibles might come into play again in future projects.

Why GOAT Gaming Took the Lead
GOAT Gaming started as a Telegram mini-app experiment back in June 2024. With no downloads or sign-ups required, it let users jump straight into skill-based games through the @goatgamingbot. The simple, frictionless experience quickly caught on.
By August 2024, GOAT Gaming had 250,000 players and over 3 million on-chain transactions. By early 2025, that number ballooned past 5 million users. Backed by a $4 million raise in February, the team expanded its tech and staff to keep up with demand. The project now sits at over 6 million users and continues to grow.
It became clear to the team that GOAT Gaming was where players were spending their time - and where the studio could innovate the most with web3 and AI tech.

From Butter Royale to Bots and Crowns
Mighty Bear Games has a history of experimenting across platforms. Founded in 2016 by veterans from King, Ubisoft, and EA, the studio launched Butter Royale and Disney Melee Mania on Apple Arcade before jumping into web3 with Mighty Action Heroes.
The battle royale was a big step forward in blending real-time multiplayer with blockchain systems, but it’s GOAT Gaming that’s taken things to a new level. The platform blends casual play with real rewards. Players can compete in prize tournaments, earn Crowns (the in-app currency), and trade them for USDT. A native token, $GG, is on the way as part of a campaign called “Road to $GOAT.”
There’s also a growing cast of AlphaGOATs - AI-powered game bots that play on behalf of users. These agents can compete, earn, and even chat. One bot in particular, Amy, launched in May 2025 and quickly became the face of GOAT Gaming. She hosts events, interacts with players, and plays a major role in keeping users engaged.

What’s Next for Mighty Bear Games?
While Mighty Action Heroes is going offline, the studio isn’t ruling out a return. If Telegram ever adds support for real-time multiplayer, there’s a chance the game could come back. For now, though, the focus is fully on building GOAT Gaming into a bigger platform.
In a message to the community, the team thanked players for their support and described Mighty Action Heroes as a major learning experience. It helped them understand web3 multiplayer at scale, and laid the foundation for what they’re building now. GOAT Gaming is still early, but with millions of players and a roadmap packed with new features, Mighty Bear Games is all in.
