Roadmap and Future Plans

Phases of Development and Key Milestones

Phase 1: Browser-Based Platform Launch

Timeline: 2026 Q1-Q2

Deliverables: Launch of the web platform with Riichi and Bang Bang variants, soft currency economy, basic characters and charms, matchmaking lobby, casual matches and beginner tutorials. Initial tournaments and leaderboards debut. Early AI hints are provided, though personalised AI companions are still in development.

Goals: Validate core gameplay, attract a user base and collect feedback. Establish the initial community and refine the onboarding process.

Phase 2: AI Capabilities and Game Expansion

Timeline: 2026 Q3–2027 Q1

Deliverables: Introduction of AI companions capable of learning from players. Players create personalized AI avatars, train them through gameplay and deploy them in matches. Additional Mahjong variants are added (Cantonese, American, etc.). Studio assets are released to selected users, enabling multi-character management. The marketplace opens for trading characters, charms and AI modules.

Goals: Demonstrate the unique value of hybrid AI. Expand the content library and test the token marketplace. Grow the player base through new rule sets and features.

Phase 3: Social Features and Marketplace Expansion

Timeline: 2027 Q2–2028 Q1

Deliverables: Launch of comprehensive social features, including clans, voice/video chat, cross-regional tournaments and live streaming integration. Governance token goes live under the separate token entity, enabling decentralised decision-making. Staking, governance proposals and burn mechanics are activated. The AI marketplace and AlaaS offerings become publicly available.

Goals: Mature the ecosystem into a sustainable economy with active governance. Create an engaging social environment that attracts new users and retains existing ones. Position Mahjong Stars as a leading competitive platform.

Long-Term Vision and Expansion Beyond Mahjong

Mahjong Stars aspires to expand beyond its initial scope:

  • Additional Game Titles: The AI framework and marketplace infrastructure can be extended to other traditional games such as Go or Rummy. Shared accounts and economies create synergies across titles.
  • Esports Integration: High-profile tournaments will attract professional players and sponsors. Establishing a Mahjong Stars Pro League with seasonal broadcasts and global finals could cement the game’s status as an esport.
  • Physical Events: Real-world events, including championships and community meetups, foster a deeper connection with players. Digital assets may unlock VIP experiences at these events.
  • Educational Applications: The AI technology developed for Mahjong Stars could be used in educational tools that teach probability, decision-making and cross-cultural awareness.
  • Partnerships and Licensing: Collaborations with popular IPs, artists or cultural institutions can yield themed characters and boards, broadening appeal and generating additional revenue.
