iGaming content provider ICONIC21 has launched Mythic Link: Monkey King, the opening title in its new Mythic Link slot series. Released on 8 September 2026, the game draws inspiration from Chinese mythology and introduces a format built around combining familiar bonus mechanics with an Asian-inspired theme.
The launch marks the beginning of a new collection for the provider. Rather than presenting the title as a standalone release, ICONIC21 has positioned Mythic Link as a series built around a shared gameplay foundation, with future entries expected to explore additional themes from Asian mythology.
Free Spins Meet Hold & Win Gameplay
One of the defining features of Mythic Link: Monkey King is its bonus-within-a-bonus structure. During the Free Spins feature, players can trigger a Hold & Win round, bringing the two mechanics together within the same bonus sequence.
The combination gives the game a layered feature structure, with the Hold & Win round available as part of the Free Spins experience rather than operating only as a separate bonus route.
The game also includes four jackpot tiers, adding another reward element to its feature set. ICONIC21 has not positioned the launch solely around its theme; the mechanics are central to the concept behind the new series.
Chinese Mythology Shapes the Game’s Identity
The Monkey King is one of the best-known figures in Chinese mythology, most widely recognised through the classic novel Journey to the West. ICONIC21 uses this legendary character as the central inspiration for the first Mythic Link release.
According to the company, the title combines established slot mechanics, including Free Spins and Hold & Win, with detailed visuals influenced by Asian mythology. The theme also provides the creative foundation for the wider Mythic Link collection.
ICONIC21 Builds a New Slot Series
The launch represents another step in ICONIC21’s slot development strategy, expanding its catalogue through a collection with a recognisable shared identity.
Serhii Nilov, Game Producer at ICONIC21, described Monkey King as an important milestone for the provider, highlighting the combination of classic bonus features and mythology-inspired presentation.
With Mythic Link: Monkey King now introduced as the series opener, attention will turn to how ICONIC21 develops the collection through future releases.
The new title adds another mythology-themed option to the supplier’s slot portfolio while establishing a format that can be carried forward across subsequent games.
