Amazon and Mattel are expanding the “Masters of the Universe” franchise into gaming with the reveal of “Masters of the Universe: Legends Unite,” a new title launching June 5 on Amazon Luna.

The game will debut the same day as the upcoming Masters of the Universe theatrical release from Amazon MGM Studios, creating a coordinated cross-platform rollout that allows fans to watch the film and play the game on the same day.

“Legends Unite” is a couch co-op experience that blends roguelike deck-building with arcade-style mini-games, designed for both solo and group play. The title draws inspiration from the new film’s world and characters while telling a standalone story, reintroducing figures from across the franchise’s broader lore.

Players will battle enemies including Hordak — the former mentor of Skeletor — across a range of environments, using character-specific abilities and collectible cards to progress through evolving challenges. Each playthrough is designed to vary, with competitive and cooperative elements shaping gameplay.

The title is part of Amazon Luna’s GameNight lineup, which emphasizes accessible, social gaming experiences. Players can use smartphones as controllers, allowing groups to join without dedicated gaming hardware.

The “Masters of the Universe” franchise, which spans more than four decades across toys, television and film, continues to be a key focus for Mattel’s digital expansion strategy as it looks to extend its IP into interactive formats.

“Masters of the Universe: Legends Unite” will be available to Prime members at no additional cost in multiple international markets.
